Among those who viewed and commented on the video was the F2Freestlers who revealed that they wanted to share a video in support of the ‘Your Story Our Voice’ campaign.

The playmaker also received several messages from people who are dealing with or who have friends and family going through mental health problems in response to the video.

Proud that you’re paying attention to this and I fully agree. Mental Health is an important topic and deserves more attention. I’ve had my fair share of problems mentally and felt often overlooked and isolated from help and support. Thankfully, I’m doing well and better.
