Statement of Christopher Reeve as read on the Today Show, February 2nd, 2000Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation "The reason I participated in the Nuveen Super Bowl commercial was because research is advancing at a remarkable pace. Scientists tell me constantly that the only thing slowing down the progress towards a cure is not enough funding. But all of them agree that a cure for spinal cord injury paralysis can be achieved in the foreseeable future. It is time that we create positive images about the miracles that scientific research can bring. Americans crave this hope. Negativism or dashing hopes never cured a disease, whether it's conquering AIDS, breast cancer or spinal cord injury paralysis.  My hope is that people will be energized by the power of the story in this commercial. It is a vision of what can actually happen."
