On Friday, Reeve Foundation Ambassador Daniel Hernandez visited our Short Hills, NJ office. Daniel, professional soccer star and captain of FC Dallas, couldn't be a better fit for our Ambassador program.
Having a personal connection to spinal cord injuries because of his brother Nico, who is living with a spinal cord injury from a 1998 auto accident, Daniel is genuine and passionate about spreading the Reeve Foundation's two-fold mission of Today's Care. Tomorrow's Cure.
Not only did Daniel want to learn the ins and outs of the Reeve Foundation more, but proudly waltzed around the office in a Team Reeve shirt! (Wait, sorry, Daniel isn't a dancer, he's a soccer star. Maybe I shouldn't say waltz!)
After having a tour of the office and being greeted by staff, Daniel spoke a few words about how honored he is to be part of the Foundation.
"...11 years later I finally got the opportunity to work with the Reeve Foundation. It was an amazing opportunity to find something dear to my heart and something my brother would be proud of, that he wants me to be involved with. I know different people with paralysis adjust to situations in different times. We didnt talk about it, but 11 years later the opportunity came to me. I spoke to him about it, and he was on board. Obviously, a great Foundation, something world known, like Reeve Foundation was something very special to me. I'm very proud to be part of it and here to help out any way I can."
On Saturday, Daniel and FC Dallas took on the New York Red Bulls, tieing 2-2. Daniel is pictured at left with Reeve Foundation President and CEO, Peter Wilderotter.
Thank you Daniel and to all our Ambassdors for spreading awareness of the Reeve Foundation!
GOALLLLL !!!
