If she has any sign of covid in her system... it'll be chalked up to 'death from covid'.

Fundraiser for Olympian Mary Lou Retton exceeds goal as she's 'fighting for her life' in ICU

The gold-medal-winning gymnast and mom of four is 55 years old.

Retton, 55, has been hospitalized in the intensive care unit for over one week and is "not able to breathe on her own," Retton's daughter, McKenna Kelley, shared on Instagram this week.

Kelley, one of Retton's four daughters and a gymnast who competed for Louisiana State University, linked to a fundraising page for her mom, whom she said is not insured.

"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."

As of Wednesday afternoon, the page had exceeded its stated $50,000 goal and had raised more than $258,000, and counting.
