Last month, BBC broadcaster Jennie Gow suffered a serious stroke and has now given fans an update on her health.
Jennie is a big name in the Formula 1 community, as she provides coverage of the sport for popular radio station BBC Radio 5 Live.
She shared the update on her health on Twitter, exactly one month after she suffered her serious stroke.
Jennie wrote the message herself, sharing that learning to write again is tough.
The full message reads: “A month today I collapsed with a Stroke. With a lot of help from the NHS, friends and family we are finding our feet in this post stroke world.
“I am having rehab every day (with lots of homework) and we are seeing progress but I can’t tell you how exhausting it is!
A final mention to my daughter and most importantly the husband, @jamiecoley396, without him, I might not be here now. (Excuse any mistakes – learning the write again is tough) Thanks for your support!!
