A personal hero of mine.
Christopher Reeve has died aged 52. As an actor, known to many in his film roles in Superman and Noises Off, I was not a much of a fan. When he became a hero in my eyes is when a riding accident that left him paralysis from the neck down. Christopher Reeve and his wife Dana, worked to promote the understanding of spinal injuries. Christopher Reeve used his own treatment and hard work to further research.
Christopher Reeve endured a catastrophic life changes injury and became a hero, for me and so many others. He dislike comparisons between him self and the iconic man of steal he played in the Superman movies. The truth is he was not of a super hero then anyone, but he was a great man of courage and strength. The world is a darker place today

ok, pardon my arrogance, but when I saw Oct. 11, and "personal hero" I damn near got misty-eyed... then I realized that my ego had gotten the better of me. =)
RIP Superman.
