Christopher Reeve's legacy extends far beyond his iconic role as Superman, with a significant portion of his post-acting achievements centered around advocacy and philanthropy. Following his tragic horse-riding accident in 1995, Reeve utilized his platform to become a voice for individuals with disabilities. He founded the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation in 1996, which later merged with the American Paralysis Association to form the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. This organization became instrumental in providing financial support for spinal cord injury research and raising awareness about the challenges faced by disabled individuals.
