the Visionary Leadership Award. Through
the funding of innovative research, grants, information
and advocacy, the foundation is dedicated to
curing spinal cord injury as well as improving
the quality of life for people living with paralysis.

The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation is
a national, non-profit organization dedicated to
curing spinal cord injury through the funding of
innovative research and improving the quality of
life for those living with paralysis through grants,
information and advocacy. The organization
was founded in 1982 as the American Paralysis Association
by a group with the firm belief that through research
and neuroscience, spinal cord injuries could be repaired
and damaged nerves and cells could be regenerated. Following
his injury in 1995, Christopher Reeve became passionately
involved with the organization, which is now known
as the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.
