SHORT HILLS, N.J. - Dana Reeve, who fought for better treatments and possible cures for paralysis through the Christopher Reeve Foundation, named for her late actor-husband, has died, the foundation said. She was 44.

Reeve died late Monday of lung cancer, said Kathy Lewis, President and CEO of the foundation.

"On behalf of the entire Board of Directors and staff of the Christopher Reeve Foundation, we are extremely saddened by the death of Dana Reeve, whose grace and courage under the most difficult of circumstances was a source of comfort and inspiration to all of us," Lewis said in a statement.

Now THAT is just sad to hear.

Really hard to believe. Did she just find out she had lung cancer like right after her husband died?

I take hope that she is in a far far better place now. I really feel sorry for the kids

Her son is like 14. I feel real bad for him, losing one parent is hard enough, but two? That is just cruel.
