Paralysis Resource Guide - (Page C) ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Welcome to the revised and updated edition of the PARALYSIS RESOURCE GUIDE. I would like to recognize several individuals who made this book possible. First, thanks to Christopher and Dana Reeve for recognizing the need for the Paralysis Resource Center (PRC), which produced the book. Thanks also to key personnel at the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation (CDRF), including Executive VP/Director of Research Susan Howley and Senior VP, Marketing and Communications Maggie Goldberg. At the Paralysis Resource Center, thanks to Director and VP/Quality of Life Joe Canose and PRC Librarian Sheila Fitzgibbon. The PRC team of Information Specialists helped with the revision. Special thanks to my California staff, Ana Gomez, Rose Rossier and Jesse Hagy for content and production help. Thanks to Tiffiny Carlson for editorial help. This book is made possibly by the support of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD). The PRC’s Paralysis Task Force (see page 304) assisted with connections and research. Many other organizations in the disability community provided resources and helped the text approach the highest standard of verisimilitude. The PARALYSIS RESOURCE GUIDE is dedicated to the memories of Christopher Reeve and Dana Morosini Reeve. Chris and Dana lived life fully and fearlessly, with purpose and passion. The spirit of Christopher and Dana is embodied in the pages of this book: Life is dear, choice is good, hope is irrepressible. SM Westlake Village, California
