Angela Rockwood-Nguyen and Dustin Nguyen
Angela Rockwood-Nguyen and Dustin Nguyen, one of Hollywood's premier Asian American couples, have been ambassadors for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation Paralysis Resource Center's Multicultural Outreach Program since 2005.  Having shot to fame on "21 Jump Street," Dustin's role as a caregiver is no less important to him than his thriving acting career. His wife, Angela, a model and aspiring actress, was spinal cord injured in a car accident in September 2001.  Recently the couple received the Community Action Awards from The Center for the Study of Asian American Health (CSAAH) and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Asian Rehabilitation Services (ARS) in Los Angeles for raising awareness about paralysis and disabilities among Asian American communities.

Francesco Clark
On June 1, 2002 life changed instantly for Francesco Clark. That day, the aspiring fashion expert, who then worked at Harper's Bazaar, sustained a spinal cord injury in a swimming pool diving accident.  Wanting to turn his tragedy into hope for others living with paralysis, Clark became an advocate for spinal cord injury research. Clark, the owner of the skin care company Clark Botanicals, plans on being a voice of hope for the SCI community. Clark is also a co-chair for the Champions Committee, a new Reeve Foundation initiative bringing together a group of energetic and philanthropic New Yorkers to help further the Foundation's important work. 

Joseph Briseno
Joseph Briseno's life was changed forever when his son, Joseph D. Briseno Jr (Jay), was severely wounded while serving in Baghdad, Iraq.  On June 2003, an Iraqi bystander shot his son in the back of his neck and that single bullet severed Jay's spinal cord. As a result, Jay suffered a C3 spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, two cardiac arrests, and, has paralysis from his shoulders down, and lost all vision. Wanting to give back to the Foundation who helped his family, Briseno became an ambassador for the Reeve Foundation's Military Outreach Campaign and Multicultural Outreach Program. A Filipino American, Joseph hopes to promote the resources of the PRC with other Filipino-Americans, which is the largest Asian ethnic group who serve in the U.S. military. In 2007, Briseno joined PRC representatives in visits to VA hospitals to educate medical staff about everything the PRC has to offer. 

Sean Graves
In 1999, Sean Graves was shot 6 times during the tragic Columbine High School shootings and became paralyzed from the waist down. Soon after his injury, Graves met Christopher and Dana Reeve at a Foundation event and was inspired to become an ambassador for the paralysis community. The Foundation personally reached out to Sean, and soon, Sean will begin reaching out to others through a speaking tour on behalf of the Foundation. Graves spent two years in grueling rehabilitation and hasn't used a wheelchair since his graduation from Columbine in 2002.

Gary Karp
Gary Karp is an internationally recognized public speaker, corporate trainer, facilitator, author, and editor. He has been living, fully, with a T12 spinal cord injury since 1973 when he was injured in a fall from a tree at the age of eighteen. For his unique and extensive contributions to disability awareness, in 2007 Gary was inducted into the Spinal Cord Injury Hall of Fame as a disability educator. A very highly-regarded speaker, Gary represents the Christopher & Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center while speaking in rehabilitation settings and to university students of physical and occupational therapy.

In addition to helping the Reeve Foundation build awareness in a younger demographic, Valderrama helps promote the Foundation and the PRC's resources to the Hispanic community.
