Andrew Fifita has released an application that could revolutionise awareness of mental health.
The Cronulla Sharks forward has been out of action since suffering a horrific fractured larynx in Cronulla’s fixture with the Newcastle Knights earlier in the season.
The rampaging prop revealed just how tough the process had been in trying to re-learn how to speak and now he’s released the ‘Croo’ app which describes itself as “a safe and secure app that monitors a person’s mental wellness and notifies trusted family and friends (their ‘croo’) when their ‘wellness signal’ appears vulnerable.”
It’s a remarkable path followed by a star who sustained one of the most horrific injuries in the modern era.
