About My Challenge

I’m doing push-ups to raise money for my pet ant, Jerry, who’s going through a really tough time. A few days ago, I accidentally stepped on my other ant, Bob—his best friend—and it was heartbreaking. Bob was more than just an insect; he was a little legend. I didn’t mean to step on him, and now Jerry’s been sitting in his matchbox house, barely touching his sugar crumbs. It’s clear he’s grieving. So, I’ve decided to do 1,000 push-ups to raise funds for Jerry's recovery—maybe a new terrarium, a proper mourning tunnel, or even a tiny ant therapist (if I can find one). Every push-up is for Bob’s memory and Jerry’s future. I want to show Jerry that life goes on, and Bob would’ve wanted him to be happy. If ants can lift 50 times their own body weight, I can at least lift myself up a few hundred times for a good cause. I’m asking people to donate a cent or two per push-up to help Jerry rebuild. It may seem small, but for an ant, even a crumb is a feast. Rest in peace, Bob—you’ll never be forgotten. And Jerry, we’re doing this for you, buddy. JUSTICE FOR JERRY

Supporting Lifeline

Lifeline exists to ensure no person in Australia has to face their toughest moments alone.
Our crisis support services are available 24/7 to listen, without judgement, to any person in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, experiencing crisis or longs to be heard.

Experience shows us it is through connection that we can find hope. With Australians struggling with cost-of-living pressures, increasing inflation, housing insecurity, global instability, and recovery after extreme weather events, our crisis support services have remained in high demand with our voice and text services receiving up to 4,000 contacts a day from help seekers. Our partnership with The Push Up Challenge plays a vital role in raising funds to support the delivery of suicide prevention and crisis support services at a time where we have never been needed more.

Thank you for supporting Lifeline. Your fundraising is helping to save lives.
