The Christopher Reeve Foundation was created following a 1995 accident in which Reeve sustained a severe spinal cord injury. When Reeve died in 2004, his wife, Dana, took over as Chair of the foundation’s board. After Dana’s death in 2006, the organization was renamed the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.
The Reeves’ son, Will, and Christopher Reeve’s son and daughter, Matthew and Alexandra, sit on the foundation’s board.
