Reeve is also known for the tragic – if ultimately inspirational – horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down. As the trailer points out, his initial despair was replaced by a passion for disability rights and care and for the people he loved. | Deadline Hollywood

Please note that the Foundation is not involved in the creation or administration of this survey, and the Foundation will not view, collect, or interact with any of the data obtained through this survey.
What’s up Everyone! For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Cody Unser. I’ve been sharing my journey as one of the 70 million adults in the U.S. living with a disability, specifically Transverse Myelitis since 1999. The lack of suitable accommodations in OBGYN clinics poses significant challenges for individuals with disabilities, impacting their health outcomes and emotional well-being. Since 2015, I've been on a mission to educate OBGYN professionals through my lecture, "Wheelchair Barbie Goes to the Gynecologist," to bridge the healthcare accessibility gap. Together with 3 researchers, we've launched iGRACE (Improving Gynecologic Resources for Accessibility, Collaboration, and Education) to conduct groundbreaking research in this area. We invite you to join us in distributing our survey to gather insights on the experiences of individuals with disabilities in OBGYN settings. Your support in sharing the survey and flyer can make a tangible difference in enhancing accessibility for all patients. Let's work together to ensure that the 70 million adults with disabilities receive the quality care they deserve. Will you stand with us in supporting this crucial research? For more information, please visit the survey link provided. Your assistance in spreading the word is invaluable. For any queries, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]. https://lnkd.in/gAY2EyxV Thank you for considering being part of this impactful initiative. Rock ON!

"What is a hero? My answer was that a hero is someone who commits a courageous action without considering the consequences," Reeve is heard saying in the trailer. "Now my definition is completely different. I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to preserve and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles." | USA TODAY
