‘Every nurse, doctor and surgeon we met along the way. Words can’t describe how grateful we are and how amazing you are,’ she wrote in August.
Majak made his fairytale return to footy during the Covid-interupted 2020 season, putting the grim reality of his mental demons behind him.
Almost two years since a distraught Majak plunged from Melbourne’s Bolte Bridge, the Sudanese-born North Melbourne player, 29, geared up for the North Melbourne Kangaroos.
The bridge plunge shattered his hips and pelvis, and the chances of him ever returning to AFL seemed beyond remote.

On the night he fell from the bridge, Majak reportedly had a fight with Emily and had taken a sleeping pill – Stillnox – notorious for mental side effects.
His car was also found abandoned nearby the river.
In order to return to the field, a surgeon placed a 15-centimetre metal rod in each hip.
Majak said in a statement after the incident: ‘To all our beloved fans and members, I just wanted to thank everyone for their love and support over the past month.
‘My attitude and outlook towards everything has improved. I hope to be back out there playing in the blue and white stripes soon.
‘Thank you all for respecting my need for privacy and for giving me the chance to get better going forward.’
Majak who became a father to son Hendrix back in August 2019 said he felt a responsibility to show others who are struggling with mental health – particularly through the lockdown – that there is a way through their despair.
