I'm completing 6,428 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. Yes, I'm doing double. I was talking a big game at work without realising the total amount required and now out of pure pride I'm committed.
You can encourage my pain by making a tax-deductible donation to my page.
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.
Lifeline exists to ensure no person in Australia has to face their toughest moments alone. Our crisis support services are available 24/7 to listen, without judgement, to any person in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, experiencing crisis or longs to be heard.
Experience shows us it is through connection that we can find hope. With Australians struggling with cost-of-living pressures, increasing inflation, housing insecurity, global instability, and recovery after extreme weather events, our crisis support services have remained in high demand with our voice and text services receiving up to 4,000 contacts a day from help seekers. Our partnership with The Push Up Challenge plays a vital role in raising funds to support the delivery of suicide prevention and crisis support services at a time where we have never been needed more.
Thank you for supporting Lifeline. Your fundraising is helping to save lives.

May your triceps remain ever resilient. May your core remain as unshaken as your resolve. And may this donation—small in currency but infinite in digital admiration—serve as fuel for your continued ascension (and descent, and ascension again) in pursuit of both fitness and philanthropy.
In the immortal words of someone who definitely didn’t foresee this context: “One small push for man, one giant pump for mankind.”
