“I’ve always believed that you should never, ever give up and you should always keep fighting even when there’s only a slightest chance.” – Michael Schumacher (2007)

Michael Schumacher is considered by many to be the best driver ever in Formula 1. His achievements on the racing track are undoubtedly unique, but he is also acknowledged by his achievements off the track. Michael’s strong will, his loyalty to the ones close to him, his honest attitude towards his goals and convictions and his strict readiness to help others are an inspiration to many people around the world since many years.

Keep Fighting hopes to unite everybody inspired by Michael Schumacher to believe they should keep fighting and never give up. Keep Fighting aims to spread the positive energy that supporters of Michael have expressed to him over the years.
