Reeve urges more funding to speed spinal cord cure
Actor Christopher Reeve urged Congress to boost spinal cord research funding by 40 million dollars annually at a Capitol Hill news conference. He said increased support could shorten the window for recovery and hopes to walk again within a decade, meeting with President Clinton who pledged an extra 10 million dollars. Reeve chairs the American Paralysis Association and advocates for NIH funding alongside senators Harkin and Specter.
