About My Challenge
On 25/6/2017, just two days after my 30th birthday, my then fiancé, Matthew took his life after years of battling his mental health.
In the 9 years since, fitness and exercise have become a huge part of managing my own mental health — giving me structure, purpose, resilience, and an outlet during difficult times.
So, this year, I’m completing 3,307 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to my page. Every dollar helps #PushForBetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding vital mental health services and initiatives.
Dedicated to: Matthew William Patterson
Supporting Lifeline
Lifeline is a national charity providing Australians who are experiencing emotional distress access to 24-hour crisis support, suicide prevention, mental health, and domestic and family violence prevention services.
Lifeline exists to ensure that no person in Australia has to face their toughest moments alone.
Our experience has shown us that it is through connection that we can find hope. That’s why we are available 24 hours a day to listen without judgement to anyone in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, distressed, or experiencing a crisis. Each year, Lifeline receives over 1.3 million contacts to our crisis support services.
By supporting Lifeline, you are ensuring the Lifeline network has the critical technology, resources and people necessary to deliver crisis support, self-led support, and counselling services around the clock.
