\n\n\n\nThis organization\u2019s goal is to help those living with paralysis, and they are very successful at what they do. Will Reeve, who\u2019s 30 now, gathers the attention of the public not only because he continues his parents\u2019 work, but also because of the staggering resemblance to his late father.\n\n\n\n
When Christopher lost the ability to walk and breath on his own, little Will was only a toddler. In an interview with the People he recalls how he and his dad were very close and did lots of fun things together. Christopher even taught him how to ride a bike by giving him instructions and being extremely supportive. When he lost his real life hero, Will was 11. Just 10 months after his death, Christopher\u2019s wife and caregiver Dana was diagnosed with lung cancer. She passed away two years later, making Will lose both his parents. At the time, he was 13 years old and moved in with the family\u2019s neighbors, Ralph and Ann Pucci, whom Dana trusted to raise him right.\n\n\n\n Will once praised the family who adopted him, saying, \u201cThe Puccis are\u2026lifesavers. They are the very best people. [\u2026] They are the reason that I was able to emerge from the darkest period of my life \u2013 relatively unscathed. \u201cThey took me in, and they loved me, not even like a son, they loved me, and do love me, as a son. The Puccis are my family and they always will be. [\u2026] When I say \u2018I\u2019m going home\u2019 \u2013 it\u2019s their house,\u201d\u00a0he\u00a0said\n\n\n\n This young man grew up to his parents\u2019 expectations. He is currently a correspondent for Good Morning America, and has also contributed to ESPN\u2019s SportsCenter and MSG Network, and continues being inspiration for many other young men.\n\n\n\n During an interview with People in 2016, Will opened up about his amazing childhood, which he considered a \u201ctotally normal\u201d one. \n\n\n\n When told that he looks like his father a lot, this young man says, \u201cMy parents were beautiful people on the inside, so if I can resemble them that way, I certainly appreciate the comparison.\u201d\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n Despite the loss he suffered, Will didn\u2019t let darkness fill in his life. Instead, the memory of his parents served as a guidance for him to turn into a respected individual.\n\n\n\n In a Daily Mail article, Will wrote, \u201cThere\u2019s something my father used to say and which I use frequently today to not only honor his legacy, but to imbue a new generation with his timeless spirit: \u2018A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.\u2019\u201d\n\n\n\n People once listed Christopher Reeve on their cover as one of the 25 most intriguing people, and Will is happy he could now share his story about Superman with the magazine.
