💕This August, the Reeve Foundation is celebrating Make-A-Will Month — an annual reminder that planning for tomorrow starts with our actions today.

To evoke change, it is important to recognize that full inclusion encompasses much more than ramps and elevators. For many, an individual’s assistive device is inextricably linked to their health, function, and ability to participate in society. The unique characteristics of one’s device and its componentry allow that individual to interact with the world. Unfortunately, though, these devices can often come at a considerable monetary cost. In other words, an individual’s quality of life is determined by what they can afford. As a steering committee member of the Independence Through Enhancement of Medicare and Medicaid (ITEM) Coalition, the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation is just one of nearly one hundred national organizations that acknowledges the importance of coverage for these devices and is dedicated to demanding change. #TodaysCare #VoicesForReeve #ADA

For as long as organizations like the Reeve Foundation continue on this twin track of making even the most rugged and inhospitable terrains and bodies of water as accessible as possible, whilst ensuring that those who need to know about them can easily find the required information, this should prove to be a breath of fresh air for the disability community at large. | via Gus Alexiou Forbes #TodaysCare #OutdoorsForEveryone

Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation reposted this
"Raising money is difficult for companies in the uncertain world of medical research and development. But when foundations with strong scientific bona fides invest in an outfit, it’s an imprimatur that goes a long way toward giving other backers in philanthropy and the private investment sector the confidence and direction they need to pull the trigger when it comes to their own money." Thank you Inside Philanthropy for the great coverage on SCI Ventures'mission and approach as a catalyst for the field ! https://lnkd.in/efv_rmGx
