About Our Challenge
HDOZ Shnat ’26 is taking part in the Push-Up Challenge from 3–26 June 2026, completing 3,307 push-ups each to honour the 3,307 Australians who died by suicide in 2024 while raising awareness and funds for mental health through supporting Lifeline Australia and its vital suicide prevention services. This year, we are also dedicating our efforts to the memory of our Kvutsah member Lexie’s uncle, David Collins, who tragically died by suicide in April 2025. David was a constant source of joy who brought laughter and light to those around him, and through honouring his memory, we hope to help break the stigma surrounding mental health struggles and remind people that every life is valuable.
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia.
Supporting Lifeline
Lifeline is a national charity providing Australians who are experiencing emotional distress access to 24-hour crisis support, suicide prevention, mental health, and domestic and family violence prevention services.
Lifeline exists to ensure that no person in Australia has to face their toughest moments alone.
Our experience has shown us that it is through connection that we can find hope. That’s why we are available 24 hours a day to listen without judgement to anyone in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, distressed, or experiencing a crisis. Each year, Lifeline receives over 1.3 million contacts to our crisis support services.
By supporting Lifeline, you are ensuring the Lifeline network has the critical technology, resources and people necessary to deliver crisis support, self-led support, and counselling services around the clock.

So proud of you Samuel. At my age a push up is less an exercise and more a negotiation with gravity!
