My journey with the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation began when I first met Chris at Madison Square Garden. After his accident, witnessing his determination, courage, and unwavering spirit, I felt connected to the Foundation’s mission. Advances in research and technology made possible by donors, along with the optimism of those living with paralysis, inspires me today.

Two decades ago, the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation identified neurostimulation—electrical stimulation targeting the spinal cord to restore lost function—as one of the most promising areas of research.
Our enduring partnership with @onwdempowered—furthered by grants to .NeuroRestore, ONWARD’s research partner, and through SCI Ventures—reflects a forward-thinking collaboration between nonprofits and industry to drive innovation.
If you’re new to Reeve research, now is the perfect time to join us. With breakthroughs like the ARC-EX® System, we are on the cusp of transforming lives in ways once thought impossible. Your support today could help pave the way for the next life-changing innovation. Together, we can create a world in which spinal cord injury does not result in paralysis and paralysis does not result in diminished quality of life. Let’s keep pushing forward together —because hope demands action.
