In honor of Christopher Reeve's birthday today, Meryl Streep, a close friend of Christopher and Dana Reeve, shares a special birthday message of hope and love.⁣ ⁣ "It's beyond amazing this foundation that they worked so tirelessly to create with its outreach and research… but it was the inspiration and instruction they gave us by their example on how to make your life count," says Streep in her video message.⁣ ⁣ As we celebrate Christopher's legacy on his birthday, we also reflect on the 25 years since he became the face of spinal cord injury and honor his dream –a world of empty wheelchairs -- is now within our reach, and he would be so proud. #HopeHappensHere #JoinReeve
