About My Challenge
For the last several years I have taken part in The Push-Up Challenge it was simply because it was a challenge and I’m fairly competitive with things like this and if I raise awareness and a bit of cash, then great.
This year is different.
In January, we lost a good friend, leaving behind so many people including his wife, two young kids, a very loving family and lots of friends. He gave so much to all of us and his community. That was made abundantly clear at his packed funeral, surrounded by people from the SES, Surf Life Saving, and a huge network of family and friends who loved and cared for him deeply.
So this year, the push-ups mean more than just a challenge. If whatever I raise can help prevent even one family, one group of friends, or one community from experiencing the heartbreak that so many of us felt in January, then each push-up will be worth it. Honestly, I’d gladly do double.
