Kemoy Campbell suffers another scare relating to his heart
SHARE
Track and Field queen Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is begging support for retired Jamaican athlete Kemoy Campbell.
Campbell, who collapsed while competing at the Millrose Games in February 2019, retired on the advice of his doctor last September.
He recently had life-saving heart surgery for the second time in seven months. He was forced to do the surgery because he passed out while driving in the United States due to some malfunction with his Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD).
Campbell begged for help with his medical expenses.
Fraser-Pryce, who won back to back Olympic Games 100m titles in Beijing 2008 and London 2012, responded:
“I know there is a lot going on in the world, and right now we are all questioning the future. But allow me to introduce Kemoy Campbell (@kemoy_campbell ) who is a retired Jamaican athlete. He didn’t retire because he wanted to. He simply had no choice. He has gone through one surgery that depleted his funding and now has a second surgery”.
“After all those years and hardship Kemoy now needs help, and yes athletes can contribute but how many?” wrote Fraser-Pryce on her social media page.
Sports Minister Olivia Grange had earlier posted on her Instagram page that her Ministry will give support to the Olympian.
Minister Grange said, “everything must be done to assist Kemoy.”
Minister Grange said Campbell was covered under the Jamaica Athletes Insurance Plan — which provides health, life and personal accident coverage — and he is entitled to use it to deal with medical expenses.

Hi Kemoy
I just want to encourage you to give JESUS a chance to show up and show off in your life; that is, if you’re not a Believer as yet. HE has done awesome things in my life, including healing! I remember watching you at one of the CARIFTA Games and you were simply amazing! Be encouraged, we’re praying for you! You are loved!! Great days are ahead of you young man!!!
@Sheraine Cooper-Edwards He is covered partially. We wait to see if he can do the balance or if he will still need help, which she has also offered, the only true concern is when will it all fall in place?
God be with you. I wish you a successful and speedy recovery. Just trust and believe in the Lord. He is our refuge and strength he will never leave us nor forsake us. Right now I declare and decree healing in the mighty name of Jesus. No sickness or diseases cannot hold God’s children bodies down. I pray for strength, health and healing in no other name but the precious name of Jesus Christ our soon coming King. Be healed right now in Jesus name. Amen!!!!
My god this is all you can come up with. It’s as if she asked you personally. You don’t know what she already give. This is why this world is the way it is . We are not incline to help each other. This is not about Shelley-ann, it is about Kemoy, have a heart.
He has served his country (Jamaica) well, let’s return the favour! Life is so funny, if Kemoy had just won a race, there would be no ending in sight for the amount of congrats and the Big ups that would be on this page, but, that is how Jamaican “so called” fans are. Wishing you a speedy recovery Kemoy.

The athletes are super millionaires, they can do this easily
That’s ignorant, only top top medal winners are comfortable financially.
The rest are pretty much living race to race, it takes yrs
