Fireside Chat with Will Reeve
BIO CEO John F. Crowley will sit down for a moving conversation with Will Reeve, ABC News Correspondent, and Board member of the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.
In 2000, Will’s father, actor and activist Christopher Reeve, served as the opening speaker for BIO’s international convention in Boston and is quoted as having said “Biotechnology is a great big word that just means ‘hope”. John F. Crowley was in the audience that day and found great inspiration in that moment.
Will Reeve carries forward his father’s legacy by showing that true heroism lies in compassion, resilience, and everyday acts of courage. His deeply personal special, "Will Reeve: Finding My Father," captures the power of generational bonds, self-discovery, and storytelling to move hearts and minds.
A powerful voice on grief and healing, Will speaks openly about navigating loss and finding strength in vulnerability, making space for others to do the same.
A passionate advocate for change, Will uses his platform to honor the legacy of his parents, Christopher and Dana Reeve, by empowering everyday people to support spinal cord research and improve the lives of those impacted by paralysis.
