Alexandra has leveraged her background in law and policy to advocate for systems that increase equality and promote human rights, echoing the core principles of her parents' philanthropic work.
Will Reeve: Carrying the Torch in Media and Advocacy
Will Reeve, the youngest of the three, was only 13 when his father passed away and 15 when he lost his mother, Dana Reeve, to lung cancer. He has channeled his personal experience with loss and resilience into a successful career in journalism and a deep commitment to the family foundation.
From ABC News Correspondent to Team Reeve Captain
Will is a well-known face on American television, serving as a New York-based correspondent for ABC News. He regularly reports for major programs, including Good Morning America and World News Tonight with David Muir, covering a wide range of stories.
His passion for storytelling often focuses on narratives of human triumph over adversity, a theme that has been central to his family's life. Will has become a powerful voice for the next generation of activists, embodying his parents’ relentless optimism.
Beyond his media career, Will is a dedicated board member of the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. He has taken on the role of Captain of Team Reeve, actively recruiting supporters and raising critical funds for spinal cord research and quality of life programs. His involvement ensures that the foundation remains vibrant and focused on its "cure is coming" mission.
Matthew Reeve: Documenting a Superhero’s Private Life
Matthew Reeve, the eldest son, has primarily focused his career on filmmaking and documentary work, a natural fit for telling his father's compelling story. He has been instrumental in preserving and sharing intimate moments of the Reeve family.
The Filmmaker Preserving the Legacy
Matthew’s behind-the-scenes work came to the forefront with the release of the 2024 documentary, Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story. The film, which premiered to critical acclaim, features footage from two previous documentaries Matthew had made about his father.
He and his siblings made a conscious decision to be "honest, raw and vulnerable" in the film, ensuring it captured the full complexity of Christopher Reeve's life, both before and after his paralyzing accident in 1995.
Like his siblings, Matthew plays an active role in the Reeve Foundation, continuing the mission to find cures and treatments for spinal cord injuries. His creative contributions help shape the public narrative, ensuring the world remembers not just the Superman actor, but the resilient man and devoted advocate.
The Enduring Power of the Reeve Foundation in 2025
The most significant common thread uniting Matthew, Alexandra, and Will is their unwavering commitment to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. This organization, co-founded by their parents, remains the world's leading nonprofit dedicated to curing spinal cord injury and improving the lives of people living with paralysis.
In 2025, the Foundation continues to fund groundbreaking research, particularly in areas like epidural stimulation, which has shown promise in restoring voluntary movement and function in some patients. The children’s collective involvement—from Will’s public fundraising to Matthew’s creative input and Alexandra’s strategic guidance—ensures the foundation’s relevance and financial stability.
Their advocacy work transcends simple charity; it is a personal mission to fulfill the promise their father made to the world after his accident: to find a cure. Their ability to balance high-profile professional careers with such a deeply personal, impactful humanitarian goal is a powerful testament to the strength and resilience instilled by Christopher and Dana Reeve.
As the "Superman" star's legacy enters a new generation, his children are proving that true heroism lies not just in fictional strength, but in real-world dedication to hope and change.
