Christopher Reeve passed away
Superman" actor Christopher Reeve, who turned personal tragedy into a public crusade and from his wheelchair became the nation's most recognizable spokesman for spinal cord research, has died. He was 52. [Ream More]
Poor guy. He'll be missed.

That's tragic. I have no doubt that had he lived another 5-10 years, with both his commendable determination and technological advances, he would have walked, and what a day for paralyzed people that would have been.

A very sad day indeed. He had a lot of courage and really used his resources to focus attention on spinal cord research. He could have just given up, but he didn't. R.I.P. to a real-life superman.

I was shocked when my music lit teacher said that today. It really sucks, even though everyone knew he'd go at any time.

I have to respect a man who when challenged with adversity, sought to use his knowledge, and personal experiences to make a change in the world.
He may have passed on, but his life will be remembered. Dropping a pebble into the water creates ripples far into the distance. Thanks Mulletman for this post. |

yeah, that was quite sad to hear, esp considering he was working to walk again
ironically, on the same day as ken caminiti, an artificial superhero.
