Mary Lou Retton is one of the most famous names in gymnastics. The Olympic gold medalist is 'fighting for her life' in an intensive care unit, according to her daughter.
Mary Lou Retton, who captured the attention of the nation when she won the all-around women's gymnastics competition at the 1984 Summer Olympics, remains in an intensive care unit, according to an update her daughter McKenna Kelley shared Wednesday. 'My sisters Skyla, Shayla, Emma and I would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of love and support for our Mom,' Kelley wrote in an Instagram post.
We ask that if you could help in any way, that 1) you PRAY! and 2) if you could help us with finances for the hospital bill,' Kelley wrote on the fundraising page. 'ANYTHING, absolutely anything, would be so helpful for my family and my mom.' 'GET WELL MARY LOU!! You are America’s Sweet Heart and we are all rooting for you!' one donor wrote on the fundraising page.
After she retired from gymnastics, Retton became a motivational speaker and frequently shared messages about the benefit of proper nutrition and exercise. She also served on the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports under former President George W. Bush.
