Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation
The Reeve Foundation is dedicated to curing spinal cord injury by advancing innovative research and improving quality of life for individuals and families impacted by paralysis.
Christopher Reeve put a human face on spinal cord injury and had an unrelenting drive to pursue the best research in the world. It was his vision, his passion, and his brilliance that attracted young scientists to take on the cause and advance the field of spinal cord research. And while Dana was universally known as the model for caregiving, her real legacy is the creation of our Paralysis Resource Center that has reached so many of those living with paralysis and their families with life-changing resources.
Our mission can be summed up into four words, “Today’s Care. Tomorrow’s Cure.” which reflects the dual purpose set forth by Christopher and Dana to provide a continuum of hope for individuals living with paralysis worldwide.

The Woody Foundation
James “Woody” Beckham suffered a spinal cord injury in 2011 playing rugby. After the injury he discovered various types of devices to regain his independence. His self-confidence has grown because he has eliminated the need for help from others in various situations. Creating a collection of assistive devices for people with limited hand functioning came to mind after his personal challenges of adjusting to his new daily life.
That is how The Woody Pack was born.
Individuals using devices in The Woody Pack can overcome these and other daily obstacles. The goal with the Woody Pack is to share the experience of regaining independence with others so they too can have the joy of going about their day on their own.
