I believe that Christopher did as much for the care of quadriplegics and spinal cord injuries as he did for the cure. He did this simply by bringing it to the attention of the media and many other people.
In my opinion he was a true hero and will be sadly missed by all, especially me.
Enough said.

I am sorry for his family's loss, sorry for his untimely accident and death.
I may be in the minority, but I don't remember one interview that he advocated putting money into research for the existing quads as far as the betterment of our care.
Every time I saw him interviewed, it was "a cure for him" and I applaud him for that.
The truth is that someday there may be a cure, but I am not sitting around focusing on that cure.
I am living my life to the fullest and enjoying all the things I can. I enjoy the blue sky, the turning of the leaves in autumn, the first crocus flowers to appear in spring, the big beautiful Monarch Butterfly........................................
Yes, if I would have unlimited funds, I may have started therapy 3-4 hours per day, but look what he missed out on.
OK, go ahead....YELL!
