Statement: Death of Dana Reeve

We are deeply saddened by the death of our dear friend Dana Reeve. Dana was a courageous woman who never stopped fighting for what she believed in; whether it was finding better treatments and a cure for paralysis or in her battle against lung cancer, Dana was a model of tenacity and grace. Despite the adversity that she faced, Dana bravely met these challenges and was always an extremely devoted wife, mother and advocate. Dana was an inspiration to us and we will miss her.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her son Will and the entire Reeve family. We especially want Will to know that his mother's determination and bravery inspired us and so many others, and we will continue to work toward the causes and goals she championed.

We pray that the Reeve family draws solace in knowing that the dedication and optimism of Christopher and Dana will live on in the continuing work of the Reeve Foundation.
