Announcement and tributes

Wolky pays tribute to Christopher Reeve, American actor, director, and activist, who passed away on October 10, 2004, in Mount Kisco, New York. Born on September 25, 1952, Reeve achieved worldwide fame for his unforgettable portrayal of Superman, combining strength and compassion in one iconic role. After a horseback riding accident in 1995 left him paralyzed, he became a powerful advocate for spinal cord research and disability rights. Through the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, he worked tirelessly to advance medical innovation and inspire millions around the world. More than an actor, Christopher Reeve became a symbol of courage, perseverance, and faith in humanity. His story reminds us that true heroism lies not in superpowers, but in the will to keep going against all odds.
