About My Challenge
I’m taking on the Push Up Challenge and completing 3,307 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
Mental health is something that affects all of us in one way or another. Life can be hard at the best of times. Work pressures, family pressures, financial stress, and the day-to-day challenges that never stop.
For my wife and I, this journey is personal.
We are parents to a child with a disability, and while we wouldn’t change a thing, the reality is that it comes with challenges every single day. The mental load, the unknowns, the appointments, the constant balancing act, and trying to stay strong while still managing everything life throws at you.
That is exactly why I wanted to do this challenge.
Mental health support matters. Not just for people in crisis, but for everyday Australians, families, parents, carers, and anyone carrying more than they let on.
Over the next 24 days, I’ll be pushing through 3,307 push-ups. Some days will be harder than others, but that’s part of the point. To challenge myself, raise awareness, start conversations, and help make a difference.
If you’re able to support, I’d really appreciate it. You can support 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.
Thank you to everyone supporting, donating, or even just checking in. It all matters.
