Why bother?

I'm completing 3,307 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. I doubt that anybody who has lived a meaningful amount of time hasn't experienced the sting of mental health problems either directly or indirectly. I'm raising money so that others who have also struggled with their greatest, bleakest periods can see it through to the other side. 

You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to my page. Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.

Dedicated to: Callum, Schi, Gabriel, and the many more I couldn't help directly

Supporting headspace Ballina

headspace is Australia’s National Youth Mental Health Foundation, providing early intervention mental health services to 12-25 year olds.
