Not sure how I’m going to beat last year’s efforts so I’ve decided to swap out push-ups for burpees! I'm completing 3,214 burpees (or requested push-up/exercise variations) in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
Help me raise $1 for every burpee/push-up. Every donation can request a variation (like last year) or I can just dedicate the reps to you 🥰🙏
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives. Make a tax deductible donation towards an important cause.
Lifeline Northern NSW is one of the beneficiaries of this year’s The Push-Up Challenge. Together, Lifeline and The Push-Up Challenge, aim to raise awareness about mental health and the impact of suicide on Australians.
Funds raised will enable Lifeline Northern NSW to continue providing their critical 24/7 crisis support and suicide prevention services, answer more help seeker contacts, and ensure any person in Australia who needs support knows where and how to find it.
