1,654 Push-ups - In Memory. For Awareness. For Change.
This year marks 8 years since I lost my mum to suicide.
She would have turned 63 this month.
This month also marks 5 months since losing my soul brother.
Their loss continues to shape my life in so many ways; words won’t fully capture.
This challenge is in memory of them both.
Suicide is devastating. Mental health is real.
I know firsthand how hard it is to say, “I’m not okay,” and how easy it is to suffer in silence.
That’s why I’m doing 1,654 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health support.
Every donation helps fund vital services and initiatives for people who need support.
If you can donate, thank you.
If not, please share my page and help spread the message.
Let’s keep talking. Let’s keep checking in. And let’s honour my mum, my soul brother, and all the beautiful lives lost too soon — as well as the loved ones left carrying that loss every day.
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives and any money I raise will go to my chose charity - Lifeline Central West NSW.
Dedicated to: My Mum (Diane Saunders) and Soul Brother
