Commonwealth Games judo medallist is in a coma after a freak motorbike accident in Vietnam.
Stephanie Inglis, who won a silver medal at the 2014 games in Glasgow, was reportedly thrown from the bike after her dress was caught in the wheel.
Inglis' parents have travelled from their home in Inverness to be with her.
A GoFundMe page has been set up by fellow judo athlete Khalid Gehlan to pay for Ms Inglis' medical care - as her travel insurance had run out.
The page said: "If anyone can pull through this it's Stephanie.
"She has been a fighter her whole life, following in her father's footsteps and becoming an international athlete, competing for Great Britain all over the world, beating adversity, competing and winning a silver medal in Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, fighting for her country and her dreams.
"Now she is fighting for her life."
A statement from JudoScotland said: "We are obviously shocked and saddened by the news that Stephanie Inglis has been involved in a serious road accident whilst living and participating in an internship in Vietnam.
