“He Made us Believe Man could Fly”

Long after the incredible success of the Superman movies in the 70’s and 80’s, the real man of steal, the late Christopher Reeve’s fight for humanity lives on.

I have been a fan of Superman my entire live, partially because I had no other male figure to aspire to, but mainly because of the complex that is Superman. Though he has power nearly matching that of god (stress on nearly) he lives his life to serve his fellow man and sacrifices his personal life to protect those who even sometimes are not as grateful as they should be. This is how I try to model my own life. Well, not nearly as dramatic, but it is a good way to live.

This is how the real man of steel lived his life as well. Christopher Reeve became a paraplegic, meaning he was unable to move from the neck down, after a terrible horse accident. Even with these incredible odds against him he fought the rest of his days to help all that had this tragic condition.

I ask all to just go to ChristopherReeve.org and read about him and his real journey as a super hero to thousands. I leave you with his own words and by asking you to Go Forward.

“What I do is based on powers we all have inside us; the ability to endure; the ability to love, to carry on, to make the best of what we have – and you don’t have to be a ‘Superman’ to do it.”
~Christopher Reeve
