“The Reeve Foundation believes that each of the nearly six million Americans living with paralysis deserves access to the best programs and services available. The Quality of Life Grants Program supports other nonprofit organizations that not only believe in that same independence, but achieve great success in carrying out their programs’ missions.”

“We are incredibly excited about our partnership with Brooks and confident that together, this program will help to reach the broader paralysis community. Brooks already has a well-established and well-respected peer mentor program. By bringing their expertise to our national program, we can provide the best resources and knowledge available.”

“There are many men out there who, like Christopher Reeve, have embraced the importance of family and fatherhood in the face of great physical challenges,” said Peter T. Wilderotter, Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation President and CEO. “This is why we are once again looking to recognize a father who lives with paralysis and exhibits compassion, dedication and positivity, and honor him as the Best Dad on Wheels.”
