Moses,
There are millions of men/women who have to look after their wives/husbands who are disabled,paralysed etc. Most of these though dont have all the money, help and hype that surrounded Chris Reeve and his wife.
I admire him for all his very hard work before and especially after his tragic accident but dont forget there are many more on our own doorsteps who are a lot worse off than he ever was.

i know mate, but nothing wrong with praising dana is it, a woman who is rich and had everything going for her and still young, not many do that nowadays bud, they just let the doctors look after them and run off with another man.
superman was a proudman, he was my hero when i was small mate, always that attachment to your superhero, God bless him, he was so cool

They were a married couple before his accident and apart from the daily trauma that surrounded his quadraplegia he was no less a husband or father, so why should anybody even think she was depriving herself of something better?
Unfortunately most peoples perception of a paralysed individual is that they are some kind of burden or less able in every department of life and have been so from birth, despite the overwhelming evidence pre-accident.
Only those that have experienced paralysis first hand or at least at close quarters will ever know the truth.
Dana was a devoted wife like so many other wives/partners that go unrecognised and without the help and support of many influential organisations/individuals.

RE Iwans post 5 -
A view from somebody who hasn't got a clue as he's not chairbound. This page has been around for years now and always pops up when Christopher Reeve is mentioned.
Maybe he wouldn't have done a thing had he not had his accident, agreed. The thing is with anything bought into the public spotlight by a celebrity, it's guaranteed to get recognition, one way or another.
This recognition has to be good for whatever cause that requires it.
Williams F1 donate a lot of money towards spinal reasearch as do all F1 teams indirectly through the organised nights pre and post race days, due to the plight being highlighted by Frank Williams' situation.
I doubt whether these donations towards spinal injuries would have necessarily been forthcoming had it not been for Franks accident but knocking the efforts would be just plain futile.
One thing that Christopher Reeve did quote that didn't sit well with other paralysed individuals was that he was going to walk again. This to anybody in the know was never going to happen.
All the statement managed to do was make the general public think it was possible with "faith" and forgetting you actually needed an intact spinal cord of which medical science hasn't solved yet.
If there is a cure tomorrow then people cannot just have the operation and walk within a weeks recouperation. An awful amount of physio would be required to retrain the body.
