Celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson shared that his daughter Monroe, four, had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and will undergo chemotherapy.
Revered celebrity trainer and former Director of Strength and Endurance for the Los Angeles Lakers Gunnar Peterson announced heartbreaking news on his Instagram Wednesday. The Duke University alum, who has worked with the likes of Sylvester Stallone and the Kardashian family to retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady, shared photographs from a hospital where his daughter is currently receiving treatment. She was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.
Our perfect 4 year old daughter, Monroe Vivian Peterson had a nagging cough, on and off fever, and an odd pallor to her for a few days last week. Typical kid stuff. Then my wife noticed bruising on her legs which was odd since she hadn’t been very active because of the other symptoms, and she took her to the hospital,' he explained. Peterson says after four days in the hospital, his daughter's blood cell count and platelets had plummeted.
The trainer received a plethora of well-wishes, including encouraging messages from Khloé and Kim Kardashian. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson wrote, 'We’re always here brother. Always. She will crush this, as she herself has declared. Bruce Willis' wife Emma Hemming added, 'Praying for Monroe and quick healing. We love you and your family so much Gunnar.'
