The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation

Ok, we confess, it has been awhile since we've updated the blog! But you have to understand, it has been a busy time for all of us! With a cruise to Mexico for some, classes and midterms for others, a wedding for one, and the good old requirements of full-time jobs for all, Team Holm Bobsled has been busy!

But don't worry, the season is starting soon so we'll have plenty to talk about (and you'll have plenty to read about)!

One thing we did want to let everyone know about is our recent affiliation with the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.

Our team captain, Jeremy Holm, is a self-proclaimed Superman fan who says he recently finished Christopher Reeve's autobiography, "Still Me." One thing he said he learned was that while Christopher Reeve was a giant of a man, physically speaking, he was truly a giant of a man when it came to the courage and determination it took to persevere and look to overcome a paralyzing accident. And his wife Dana was his "superwoman" who was there with him every step of the way until his death. Her battle with cancer has inspired thousands around the world and their legacy is still burning brightly despite their passings.

The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation is dedicated to curing spinal cord injury by funding innovative research, and improving the quality of life for people living with paralysis through grants, information and advocacy and Team Holm Bobsled is proud to be a part of Team Reeve, a division of the foundation that is dedicated to people who "run a race, bike a trail, swim the tides ... turn (their) passion for sports into a mission to help others."

Please visit the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation website to learn more about ways that you can help those battling spinal cord injuries or diseases.

Also, check out this video below, it is incredible when you think about what it represents and the power we have as human beings to overcome the "impossible."
