Rev. Billy Graham Falls, Breaks Foot
- Share via
The Rev. Billy Graham fell and broke a foot Tuesday, two days before the start of a four-day crusade.
The ailing Graham, who suffers from Parkinson’s disease, arrived at a news conference at Bulldog Stadium in a golf cart and explained that he couldn’t stand because of a fracture to his right foot.
“I’ve had a little accident this morning. I’m sorry,” Graham said before making brief remarks at the Cal State Fresno football field. The injury will not affect Graham’s plans to preach each night of the Central Valley Crusade, said Graham spokesman A. Larry Ross.
The injury was not related to Parkinson’s disease.
