Inspirational and educational stories about the people in the paralysis and spinal cord injury community.
About Me:
The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation's roots stretch back to 1982 when the American Paralysis Association was formed by a group of people that refused to accept the prevailing notion that the spinal cord, once injured, could not be repaired. The founders of the American Paralysis Association had an unwavering belief that researchers and neuroscientists, working together, would find a way to connect and regenerate the damaged nerves and cells that result in paralysis.
Christopher sought out the organization following his injury in 1995. As Christopher said, "I have always been a crusader for causes I believe in. This time, the cause found me." Christopher shared the American Paralysis Association's belief in a cure and lent his name, passion and drive to the organization which ultimately became known as the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.

I just hope I live long enough for something like this implant to be fully subcutaneous without any outside controls. I'm probably too damaged without some other medical breakthroughs for this to work on me such as the need for skin strengthening because I was born disabled.

I saw a lot of chairs i really liked, I enjoy pimping my own, and will never really be done with it and then I'll get the next chair and i'll just keep on adding on new ideas, I have made a video about the things I have do to pimp my chair, I would llove to see what anyone else has done with their chair, rather they spent little or a lot, or just started and plan maybe add more later. Some chairs come with lights, mine didn't, but thats okay I'm adding lights to it, in fact I already started to add them.

Por favor não postar mais boletim em meu endereço de conta do youtube, pois já deletei a inscrição do canal Reeve Foundation, pois vocês mostrarar serem preconceituosos. Quando um vídeo é postado seja ele qual for é para todos verem, se vocês não querem que vejam ou se inscrevam em seu canal, então não deveriam ser postado. Ameaça é crime.
