“Our dad’s accident really did connect us to this community: 4 million people in the U.S. who are suffering from paralysis,” Alexandra Reeve, 22, tells the magazine. “We understand how important it is not only to find a cure but also to improve quality of life.”

Christopher Reeve was paralyzed in 1995 in a horse-riding accident. He died in 2004 at age 52. His wife, Dana Reeve, died of lung cancer earlier this year.
