About My Challenge

Hello and welcome!

Thank you for taking the time to follow me and support the 2025 Push-Up Challenge.

Mental health is something that has impacted me very personally, with the loss of my beautiful mum and other close family members to suicide. 

Each year when participating, I keep those I have lost at the forefront of my motivation to get through this challenge - I push for their memory; I push for their voice to be heard, and I push most importantly to inspire those who are silently struggling.

This year as an act of self-love, I'm also pushing for ME! After the most mentally challenging 12 months of my life, each push up this year will be a mindful steppingstone towards a better me - both mentally and physically!

I will be completing 3,214 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia and to remind myself that anything is possible when you have the courage to sit in the 'uncomfortable' and step (or push-up) along the path unknown. 

Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.

I look forward to creating a community that feel inspired to follow my journey and cheer me on! 

xx
