The Colorado Paralysis Foundation was created in 2024 as a grassroots organization focused on promoting an improved quality of life for those affected by or living with paralysis in the state of Colorado. Through enhanced educational programs, advocacy and direct support programs, our mission is to act as an agent of change for the local disability community improving access to healthcare, transportation and other local resources to further empower its members to live their most independent life. Further, CPF is recognized as an independent affiliate of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation – ultimately increasing a wider Reeve network by representing the first of its kind affiliate in the state of Colorado.

”“Who knows why an accident happens? The key is what do you do afterwards. There is a period of shock and then grieving with confusion and loss. After that, you have two choices. One is to stare out the window and gradually disintegrate. And the other is to mobilize and use all your resources, whatever they may be, to do something positive.”
— Christopher Reeve
