WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following is a statement of Spokesperson Michael Manganiello, senior vice president of Government Relations for the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation:
"Dana Reeve, as the newly-elected chairman of the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation, is attending the State of the Union as a guest of Congressman Jim Langevin (D-R.I.). The Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation and Congressman Langevin have worked tirelessly to secure strong bi-partisan support to advance research, rehabilitation and quality of life programs for the more than two million Americans living with paralysis.
"Mrs. Reeve is looking forward to hearing the President's vision with regard to the funding of medical research through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In addition, Mrs. Reeve is eager to learn about any expansion by the President of his New Freedom Initiative, a plan to foster the full participation of people with disabilities in all aspects of life.
"Mrs. Reeve is no stranger to Washington. She joined her late husband many times over the past few years as they educated Congress on numerous topics including a landmark piece of legislation bearing her late husband's name, the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Act. The bill complements the NIH Roadmap, an initiative advanced by President Bush to encourage collaboration and coordination among researchers, Federal agencies and the private sector. The bill also supports the health promotion and disability programs of the CDC, the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research, and the Veterans Health Administration.
"Mrs. Reeve looks forward to reintroducing the legislation with strong bi-partisan support in honor of her late husband with the hope of improving the lives of over two million Americans living with paralysis.
"Mrs. Reeve and the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation will continue to carry on Christopher's legacy that Nothing is Impossible." ------
