About Our Challenge
The Turners together with other supporting Team Turner members will be taking part in the Push Up Challenge (3-26 June 2026). We’ll be completing heaps of push ups (and other exercises) in memory of our son Tom and to help raise awareness for mental health.
This year’s challenge is 3,307 push ups. 3,307 is the number of Australians who took their own life in 2024.
We aim to foster a community which encourages people to talk about their mental health, ask for help and offer support to each other.
You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to our fundraising page or joining our Team to be part of the fun or as a check in to promote regular exercise. Or you might not be in a position to do either of those things in which case words of encouragement and starting conversations around mental health are just as much appreciated.
Every dollar and every conversation 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.
