About My Challenge

I’m taking on 3,307 push-ups in 24 days for the Push-Up Challenge to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.

I’ll be completing the challenge wearing a 20kg weight vest — representing the invisible weight so many people carry every day. As a dad, and as someone who’s seen mates struggle with mental health, separation from their kids, and battles they felt they had to fight alone… this one means a lot to me.

This challenge isn’t about being perfect or pretending to have all the answers. It’s about showing up, starting conversations, and reminding people they’re not alone.

If you’d like to support the cause, you can make a tax-deductible donation to my page. Every dollar helps fund vital mental health services, support programs, and initiatives across Australia.

Let’s keep pushing for better 💙
