Paralysis Resource Guide - (Page H) MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT, Welcome to the Paralysis Resource Guide, a one-stop handbook to guide you and your loved ones through the often bewildering world of paralysis. The goals of this book and of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation (CDRF) Paralysis Resource Center are to improve the lives of millions of people living with paralysis. We offer information you can trust in order to make the best choices for a fulfilling and active life. CDRF has over the years invested millions of dollars to support research to restore function in the damaged spinal cord. While we expect the long-term payoff of treatments and cures, we understand the day-to-day challenges of living with paralysis. That’s why we offer tools, services and resources, here and now, through our Quality of Life grants and the Paralysis Resource Center. We also advocate for the rights of people with disabilities; we want you to be armed with the information and knowledge you need to face the world of paralysis with the fierce determination and courage of our namesakes. We have a wonderful, dedicated team here at the Foundation carrying on Christopher and Dana’s vision and keeping their legacy of hope and perseverance alive. But we all know there is much work ahead of us; we have yet to reach our goal of mobility, full participation and independence for all citizens. Until that day, we will continue to Go Forward. Peter Wilderotter, President Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation CHRISTOPHER AND DANA REEVE FOUNDATION
