Kym Renner, sister to Jeremy Renner, has offered an update on the actor’s health. Renner, who was run over by his snowplow on New Year’s Day, has a long road of recovery but is in good spirits.
The 52-year-old was helping a family member who was stuck in the snow with his snowplow. In a freak accident, Renner was caught under the wheels of the plow and was airlifted to a hospital, where he’s been since.
The Hawkeye actor’s sister spoke to People Magazine, saying, “we are so thrilled with his progress, if anyone knows Jeremy, he is a fighter and doesn’t mess around. He is crushing all the progress goals. We couldn’t feel more positive about the road ahead.”
“He is an honorary deputy sheriff,” Balaam added. “His popularity amongst kids in the Marvel (movies) has a huge impact on those kids he touched during Shop with a Sheriff…I can guarantee they will never forget that moment that they got. He shared his time with us there and not only shopped with a few kids but interacted with the kids. He’s had a huge impact in this office in helping us with our outreach with Shop with a Sheriff, our biggest event. But throughout the community, he has been very generous. And he’s one of those individuals that I can tell you most of the time you don’t know that he’s doing it but he has made a tremendous impact on this community.”
