His mother was Reeve's long-term partner Gae Exton.[1] Reeve has a sister, Alexandra Reeve Givens, and a half-brother, television reporter and anchor Will Reeve.
Education and film work
After graduating from Brown University in 2002, Reeve produced and directed the documentary Christopher Reeve: Hope in Motion, which won the Communicator Award for Excellence in documentary filmmaking and was nominated for an Emmy.[2] The film first aired on ABC on September 18, 2002 (as Christopher Reeve: Courageous Steps[3]) and then later on BBC 1 on 9 February 2003[4] and in numerous other countries.
The follow-up film Christopher Reeve: Choosing Hope aired on BBC1 in October 2004, shortly after Christopher Reeve's death.
In 2009 Reeve released Over The Water, a documentary about World Champion kiteboarder Aaron Hadlow, which Reeve filmed, produced and directed over a period of three years. Also in 2009, Reeve was admitted into the NYU MBA/MFA dual degree program, a joint Master's program at the NYU Stern School of Business and NYU Tisch School of the Arts, from which he graduated in 2012.[citation needed]

In June 2006, Reeve joined the board of directors of the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. He also serves on their Quality of Life committee and Executive Committee, and in 2014 became Vice-Chair of International Development. In 2009 he ran the New York City Marathon to raise money for spinal cord injury research,[5] and in 2014 he sponsored a study of epidural stimulation.[6]
In 2010, Reeve and his sister, Alexandra Reeve Givens, were the recipients of the National Leadership Award at the Castle Connolly Awards.[7]
In 2010, Reeve gave the keynote commencement address to the graduating class of the Stony Brook University School of Health Technology.[8]
