Christopher Reeve Honored as Heroes' Hero by CNN

Christopher Reeve was honored as the first-ever recipient of CNN’s HEROES’ HERO award as part of CNN HEROES: An All-Star Tribute. Hosted by CNN’s Anderson Cooper and Christiane Amanpour, and broadcast live around the world on CNN (December 6th), CNN International, and CNN en Espanol.

As a culmination of CNN’s year long initiative honoring ordinary people doing extraordinary things, they are giving the Heroes’ Hero award to an individual who dedicated his or her life to helping others, and whose very name has become synonymous with their cause.

"We are humbled that they have chosen Christopher as their Heroes’ Hero."
