Sorry to hear that you’ve had some mental health struggles these past few years, and I’m sure this abrupt change in circumstances doesn’t help. I hope that things get better for you and for Jakub Vrana.

Tell Johns thanks for texting you and prompting you to write this today, for me. I needed to hear something like that: its ok to struggle!

I'm dreaming, hoping and looking forward to a day that it is truly okay to not be okay in life. Maybe John;s story will be a step in helping others see that it is okay with making it known. He has already made a huge step and brought i t to light, i cant wait to see what him and Toates came up with!

I woke up with the importance of this right at the front of my mind today also, with Mental Miles having brought back some fresh reflection on my own journey too, and I’m glad you’ve shared something which keeps the conversation moving in the right direction. Hopefully Stephen’s honesty and bravery in sharing his story in such a raw way will inspire the compassion in others that is really needed, and a bigger shift in the mindset of people throughout life and especially in sport.
