Michael Schumacher’s wife gives rare health update ahead of anniversary – ‘Keep fighting’

Corinna, 50, has said “big things start with small steps” as fans prepare to launch a new ‘KeepFightingMichael’ social media page on December 29.

In five days time, the Kerpen fan club in Germany has announced they will use the hashtag ‘KeepFighting’ to keep the memory of the F1 legend alive.

‘KeepFighting’ is also the name of the family foundation which supports other accident victims and invests in brain and spinal cord research.

Corinna told fans: “Big things start with small steps. Many small particles can form a huge mosaic.

“Together you are stronger, and that is exactly how combined forces of the KeepFighting movement make it easier to encourage others.”

Reiner Ferling, chairman of the fan club, said he is still remains “full of hope” he will see Schumacher out in public again.

He said: “Unfortunately, the time has come again, the sixth anniversary of Michael’s accident is coming around.

“Six years full of hope that Michael will one day go out in public again.”

Mr Ferling stated Schumacher is in “good hands” and paid tribute to his “strong” family.

Mr Ferling said: “We know that Michael is in good hands, that he gets love, security and confidence.
