About this listen
At 17, Mitch Wilson thought he was just an exhausted teenager.
But dizziness, daily vomiting, and excruciating headaches escalated into something far more sinister: a brain tumour that went undiagnosed for over a year due to medical neglect. The delay cost him most of his eyesight… but not his spirit.
In this conversation, Mitch opens up about:
The terror of going to sleep wondering if he’d wake up completely in the dark
The angry, self-destructive years that followed
How a German shepherd called Blaze and para-cycling helped pull him back
Grief, therapy, purpose, and trying to figure out what life looks like now.
Now a world-class para-cyclist and newly married, Mitch is still figuring out what life looks like in the long term.
This is a story of survival, identity, sport, grief, love, and the stubborn refusal to give up. And it is one of those episodes that will stay with you.
