About My Challenge
Hello friends,
My mental (and physical) health is something that I’ve been actively working on in the past couple of years. This is huge for me because growing up, I was often told that showing emotion is seen as a sign of weakness. Hence, this was not something that was openly spoken about.
I only discovered in the recent years through my work with students experiencing all sorts of crisis that there are a lot of people who are in the same situation who may be struggling through things that they aren't comfortable sharing with those who are close to them - or even worse, not having any form of support system at all.
Through this personal journey, I have grown to be very passionate about people having access to support, especially when they do not have someone to talk to. No one should have to suffer through their struggles alone!
In saying that, I'm completing 3,214 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. The donations will go to Lifeline who provide 24-hour crisis support and suicide prevention services.
I don't usually do these kinds of things but it's for an area that is important to me. So if you can, please support me as I complete this challenge - whether it’s through a small tax-deductable donation of any amount or even through words of encouragement to keep me going (push-ups suck!😂)
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.
Thank you!
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.
