The team supporting TV presenter Charlie Webster has thanked her fans for their support after the shock news that the star is fighting for her life.
The former Sky Sports News presenter is in a serious condition in a Rio
de Janeiro hospital after contracting a rare strain of malaria, while
travelling to the Olympic Games.
The star became unwell on August 6 after watching the opening ceremony
of the Olympic Games, having arrived in the city a few days earlier.
Following
an outpouring of support from fans, a message posted on her Twitter
page read: "Thank you very much for all your messages of support, it
means so much. £TeamCharlie."
Charlie is currently fighting for her life
She was admitted to hospital, where doctors initially thought
she was dehydrated following the gruelling six-week Ride To Rio
challenge.
However, her condition deteriorated after she developed a severe complication from a bacterial infection.
The
former Sky and ITV sports presenter, had cycled 1,600 miles (2,575km)
from Recife in the north-east of the country to Rio in 39 days with the
widower of breast cancer fundraiser Jane Tomlinson.
She appeared
to be in good health when she arrived in the Brazilian capital on August
4 and was due to stay on in the city as part of Team GB's Great Britons
campaign alongside DJ Nick Grimshaw and model Jodie Kidd.
The marathon runner shared her frustration with her fans on
social media the day after she was admitted to hospital, writing: "6
weeks on the road ends in this. Very rough day, severe dehydration &
infection - 2 drips & antibiotics £Rio".
But Webster remained positive, telling fans on August 9: "I'm getting there ... awful few days with serious infection £Rio."
She
posted a photo showing her lying in a hospital bed hooked up to a drip,
but smiling, adding later: "Looking forward to being a part of TeamGB
here at £Rio2016."

Charlie is a keen sportsperson
However she made no further posts and a statement on her Facebook and
Twitter profiles on August 11 revealed that her condition had worsened.
It said: "Charlie has updated you all throughout her cycle and we know her silence was causing concern.
The 33-year-old - who is in Rio to be one of the official presenters for Team GB - first fell ill around two weeks ago.
“Charlie is battling for survival at the moment – everyone is distraught," her friend told The Sun newspaper.
“But she is so strong and a very fit and healthy person in general so we have to keep positive.

“The doctors have now identified the very rare malaria strain she has
contracted so she is receiving the right treatment in Rio, with advice
being provided by the London School of Tropical Medicine.”
The
33-year-old star cycled 3,000 miles to Rio in a charity bike ride, which
started in London and went through France, Spain and Portugal.
She
then flew to north Brazil and rode to Rio in time for the Olympics
opening ceremony on Friday August 5, one day after she arrived in the
city.
A friend said: "She had checked the medical risks and been
told she didn’t need to take anti malaria drugs because of where she was
travelling.
"Charlie started vomiting at the ceremony and thought it was dehydration and general fatigue from the cycle.
"In the early hours after the ceremony she went to hospital and was treated for dehydration."
Charlie - who has appeared as a sports expert on Good Morning Britain - previously dated Downton Abbey star Allen Leech.
The pair split in December to focus on their careers.
