Many may not know that actor and comedian Sinbad has been fighting for his life after suffering a stroke back in 2020!

The actor’s family has shared his health journey to date and are asking for help from the fans.

The 66-year-old comedian’s family shared a photo of him re-learning to walk in physical therapy, two years after he suffered an ischemic stroke, sharing an update on his recovery and a donation page for supporters who want to help contribute to his medical expenses.

In a statement shared alongside the photo on Monday, the family explained Sinbad’s medical journey up until now, after a blood clot traveling from his heart to his brain triggered the stroke in Oct. 2020.

Sinbad (born David Adkins) then underwent a thrombectomy to remove the clot, after which he was mobile and talking with some weakness, but the “prognosis was very promising.”

“He continues to receive therapy, fighting for every inch. His progress is nothing short of remarkable,” the family shares. “Limbs that were said to be ‘dead’ are coming alive, and he’s taking the steps necessary to learn to walk again. In his own words, ‘I am not done. I will not stop fighting until I can walk across the stage again.’ And neither will we.”

They add: “Survival odds from this type of event are approximately 30 percent. Sinbad has already beaten the odds and has made significant progress beyond what anyone expected, but there are still miles to go.”

With insurance not covering the full costs of his therapy, the family set up a donation page for his medical expenses, with all proceeds going to the Adkins Trust, “to help provide for Sinbad’s care and help him continue to fight this battle.”

“The family believes, without exception, Sinbad is here because of the multitude of prayers from all who know and love him. We are eternally grateful. Every outpouring of love and the memories of how he has touched all of you have not gone unheard, unseen or unfelt. Thank you. You have lifted his spirits along the way and inspired the entire family,” they conclude. [PEOPLE.com]
