About My Challenge
I’m taking on the Push-Up Challenge: 3,214 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and vital funds for mental health support in Australia.
Mental health is something close to my heart. I’ve seen people I care about fight their own battles, and I’ve faced my own struggles too. It’s a lifelong journey, not always visible, not always easy, and something we all need to keep working on.
For me, going to the gym and training with like-minded people has become one of the most important pillars in supporting my mental health. Joining the team at Athletic Performance Centre for this challenge is a small way of saying thanks and encouraging others to experience how powerful exercise can be for your mindset. These days, training isn’t about looking a certain way or lifting the heaviest weights with questionable form. It’s about training my body and my mind. The discipline of sticking to a routine. The satisfaction of self-improvement. And surprising myself with what my body is actually capable of.
This challenge is my way of starting conversations, breaking stigma, and showing support for those who might be struggling silently. Please, be kind to yourself and those around you. You never know what someone might be going through beneath the surface.
If you’re able, I’d love your support. Donations are tax-deductible and go directly to Lifeline and other organisations doing incredible work across the country. Every push-up counts. Every dollar helps.
