Christopher and Dana ReeveIf Christopher Reeve was Superman, Dana was no less of an equal. She was there during his struggle to recover, staying with him through thick and thin, never surrendering, and taking on the chair of the Christopher Reeve Foundation for spinal cord injuries after the death of her husband.

Unfortunately she was diagnosed with lung cancer, and it was a battle she did not win. She was a role model and an inspiration, and her loss is just as tragic as that of her husband.
