Just last month Manchester lost one of its most famous sportsmen, Ricky Hatton was a boxing world champion across two weights. Despite being a dedicated boxer, Ricky was also a human being and family man.
Ricky was very open about his mental health and the struggles he had battled throughout his life and career.
Learning from the inquest today that he may have lost his battle with his struggles is a painful reminder that things for everyone can get too much.
At Get Onside we want to help people with their mental health through exercise as Ricky was a big believer that exercise can help.
We also know many are facing a battle with mental health every day and we want to make sure we can also assist people in the best way to get help and professional support.
Rest in peace Ricky Hatton ๐ค
