I am the son of a real Superman

Last week I was commissioned to meet up with Matthew Reeve, better known as son of Superman Christopher Reeve. The assignment consisted of taking a set of portraits of Matthew Reeve, whilst he was visiting patients at the Neurokinex Kids – the first paediatric rehabilitation facility to open in the UK.

Matthew Reeve is the eldest child of the late Superman actor Christopher Reeve, who was paralysed from the neck down in a riding fall in May 1995, when he was 42.

Matthew was in Gatwick, Surrey, to open Neurokinex Kids first paediatric rehabilitation facility in the UK to use cutting-edge activity-based therapies which support muscle development and stimulation of the spinal cord.

The Neurokinex therapies were established by the NeuroRecovery Newtowk (NRN) which the late Christopher Reeve established in the US to get scientific developments in spinal cord work into rehabilitation centres.
