Today marks three years since Christopher Reeve died -- nine years after he suffered a paralyzing injury when he was thrown from a horse. His wife Dana died of cancer in 2006. Seems like just yesterday when Superman saved the world!
The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation continues the work of the heroic couple, supporting spinal cord research and therapies for people living with paralysis.

Because Christopher and Dana chose to love unconditionally, their marriage will endure as one of the greatest love stories of our time.
Bravo.

25. Amazing people. They took a personal tragedy and made it a public issue while helping thousands. I really miss Dana Reeves. She was such an inspiration and I can honestly say I did shed a tear when she died. I hoped she would be a survivor but they are together again in paradise.
