My Challenge

I’m taking on 3,214 push-ups in 23 days — one for every life lost to suicide in Australia in 2024. he floor and I are becoming very close friends this month.

I’m part of the Merewether High Year 11 team, and we’re pushing through to raise awareness and funds for mental health — a cause that has always mattered to me, and I hope make an impact in. 2 in 5 Australians aged 16–85 years have experienced a mental disorder at some time in their life, please help me make a difference, one push-up at a time.

I’m raising money for headspace, and every donation goes toward improving mental health services and outcomes across the country. Bonus: every donation is tax-deductible.

If I survive this, I’m treating myself to extra snacks. For recovery purposes, obviously.

Every dollar helps to #pushforbetter.
