Christopher Reeve broke into tears during the dedication of a new $17 million rehabilitation center in Green Springs, Ohio.
"It's a real pleasure for me to be here," he said Sunday at St. Francis Health Care Center. "Actually, it's a real pleasure for me to be anywhere."It was one of Reeve's first public appearances since breaking his neck in a horse-riding accident in May.
The paralyzed actor called for increased funding for spinal cord injury research. "Scientists are ready, willing and able and, with our support, they can make it happen," Reeve said.
