Michael Schumacher's family said
on the eve of his 50th birthday Wednesday they were doing
everything possible for the seven-time Formula One champion
after his brain injury in a skiing accident in 2013.
Schumacher, who retired from racing in 2012, has not been
seen in public since.
The German is being cared for at home in Switzerland.
"You can be sure that he is in the very best of hands and
that we are doing everything humanly possible to help him," the
family said in a statement that made a rare comment about his
condition.
"Please understand if we are following Michael's wishes and
keeping such a sensitive subject as health, as it has always
been, in privacy," it added.
The family said an official Michael Schumacher app will be
released on Thursday to enable fans to review all his career
successes.
The Keep Fighting Foundation has also created a virtual
museum.
