The Reeve Foundation’s Emergency Preparedness for People with Paralysis Booklet is designed to be one of the most comprehensive, crucial resources that aid national organizations, people living with paralysis, and their caretakers in preparing for emergencies and impending weather. #TodaysCare #HurricaneSeason (fb)

At just 19 years old, during his second semester at Colorado College, Martin was struck by an excruciating headache. His condition rapidly worsened and he slipped into a coma. When he woke up five days later, he was paralyzed. It would take nearly a month before an infectious disease specialist deduced that an Epstein-Barr viral infection had settled in Martin’s brain and spinal cord, causing a rare case of paralysis. Over the next six months, Martin went through intense rehabilitation to relearn to walk. Today, Martin is a father of three, a healthcare executive, and is participating in the Boston marathon on Team Reeve®, helping to raise awareness and funds for the SCI community. Martin knows first-hand how fragile life can be and how powerful hope is. Join or support Team Reeve® and you can ensure this work continues for better care today and the breakthroughs we’ll see tomorrow. https://bit.ly/4jUDIg0 #ReeveFoundation #TeamReeve #BostonMarathon #RaceForACause #DonateNow Image description: Promotional image for the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation featuring a person with a backpack standing in a scenic outdoor setting.
