An exceptional woman and mother, who has been at the top of our sport for over one decade and has delighted millions of spectators all over the world with her performance, her character, and her friendliness - Oksana Chusovitina of Uzbekistan - badly needs our immediate help to save the life of her young son, Alisher, who has been diagnosed with leukemia. An amount of 120,000 € must be raised to guarantee his lifesaving treatment. We appeal to all gymnastics associations of the world, all gymnastics clubs in the world, and all friends and fans of gymnastics and of Oksana: Please contribute to the fund for medical treatment of three-year-old Alisher. GYMmedia and its international gymnastics team have opened a charity-account at the Deutsche Bank.
