Dana Reeves

Sadly, Dana Reeves lost her fight against lung cancer. She was a beautiful, courageous and articulate woman who wanted to continue her husband's quest for stem cell research. Ironically, Dana was among the growing number of non-smokers who get lung cancer. There is no known reason for this and more research needs to be done in order to find better diagnostic tools for early detection like we have with breast and prostate cancer. More women die every year from lung cancer than from breast cancer because by the time it is discovered, the cancer has already spread too far. Dana leaves a young son, Will. He is in my thoughts and prayers this morning.
