About My Challenge
I'm completing 3,214 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
This month, I'm taking on the push-up challenge to raise funds and awareness for mental health—something that has deeply touched my life.
Mental health doesn’t always show on the outside, but its impact runs deep. I’ve seen firsthand how much someone can struggle behind a smile, and how important it is to support those who are fighting battles we may never fully understand.
Every push-up I do is for the ones we’ve lost, the ones still fighting, and the ones who’ve found strength in recovery. I’m doing this not just to raise money, but to start conversations, reduce stigma, and remind people that it’s okay to not be okay—and that help is always there.
Please consider supporting the cause by donating, joining in, or simply sharing this message. Let’s push for a future where mental health gets the attention, care, and compassion it deserves.
