"I know, it sounds ridiculous, right?! 'He can't even do 20 push-ups!'
I’ve never signed up for anything like this before, but this one hits real close to home.
Some of you know a bit about the struggles I’ve had—and continue to face—with my mental health. The unrelenting internal battles, the guilt over how it affects those I love most. 2023 was a tough year for us. We got through it thanks only to the incredible strength and love of my better half, and the unconditional love of my kiddos. We’re still on that journey.
But for the 3,214 Australians lost to suicide in 2023, there’s a trail of heartbreak and unanswered questions left behind.
So… I’m taking on the challenge to do 3,214 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
This almost didn’t happen. It’s hard to explain the 'debilitating anxiety' that comes just from the thought of asking for your support. That fear of rejection—it’s been a silent driver in my life for as long as I can remember.
But I’m doing this anyway.
So if you can, please take a moment (and your cash!) to show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to my page. Every dollar helps #PushForBetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding critical services and initiatives.
Thanks for reading,
Chris Stewart
