Lindsey Vonn shared an emotional tribute to her late mother, Lindy, on International Women's Day. Lindy Vonn passed away in 2021 after a battle with ALS, a neurodegenerative disease, and had also experienced a stroke at birth. Vonn's mother is a significant source of inspiration for her, particularly as Vonn begins her recovery from a severe leg fracture sustained at the Winter Olympics in Italy last month.
Following the accident, which could have led to amputation, Vonn underwent multiple surgeries in both Italy and the United States. She has recently returned home to commence a lengthy rehabilitation program. Vonn acknowledged that while her physical battle began upon injury, the mental challenges have started to weigh on her since leaving the hospital in late February, describing it as a dark and unrelenting fight.
