Push for Dan
This June, we’re taking on The Push-Up Challenge in honour of Dan Daly. We'd love anyone who knew him, worked with him, trained with him, or simply wants to support the cause to join us.
Fitness, resilience, mateship and pushing yourself were all a huge part of who Dan was. Challenges like this were something he genuinely loved, and this feels like a fitting way to bring people together in his memory.
Between 3–26 June, our team will complete thousands of push-ups to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
Whether you do every push-up, a few when you can, donate, or simply help spread the message — we’d love to have you involved.
You can support the team by:
- Joining us for the challenge
- Making a tax-deductible donation
- Sharing the page and helping raise awareness
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia
Supporting The Push For Better Foundation
The Push For Better Foundation raises awareness and engages people in mental health through connection, education and health and wellbeing. We #pushforbetter.

Steve we are so proud of you and all the others participating in this worthy fundraiser. Sadly, it’s the illness we don’t see, it’s the illness that is often not understood and it’s the illness that many people, suffer alone. Everyone needs to see, speak & hear this illness. ❤️

Hi sweet nephew. This is a beautiful tribute to Dan and everyone who has passed by ending their life. The pain is real and they felt no way out. Let's give hope that there is a way. I too have struggled and came close but I got help and now live in joy and gratitude. It was great meeting you last year. Take good care. Keep in touch. Marianthe.
