Peyton Manning | Kicking the Stigma

Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning encourages those struggling with mental health to take the first steps to talk about it and seek help.

The Indianapolis Colts and the Irsay family has launched Kicking the Stigma, a comprehensive initiative to raise awareness about mental health disorders and to remove the shame and stigma too often associated with these illnesses.

My daughter has had a total of 27 surgeries, the majority at PMCH. Wonderful doctors, nurses and staff all around. She is also a True Hero Ambassador., So proud of her determination and strength.

I really do love what the Colts are doing with this campaign to kick the stigma on mental health.

I was 8 when we drafted Peyton. He’s my childhood hero.

I loved the Colts since I was a kid, Peyton was the reason. Hearing him say this means a lot because I was young when my first girlfriend broke up with me because her parents found out I was Bipolar/ADHD, and they thought that made me unsafe or dangerous. It hurt for a long time because she was the first person I opened up with about my problems and I was judged so harshly for it. I hope anyone out there reading this feels open enough to ask for help and reach out if you need it, and please don't look at people with mental problems as less-than. Have a great day.
