Why push?
I’m doing The Push-Up Challenge again this year - 3,307 push-ups in 24 days - to raise awareness, reduce stigma and support vital mental health services.
This cause is close to my heart. I’m proud to be supporting Lifeline, whose crisis support services are genuinely life-saving. I'm also a big fan of another Push-Up Challenge partner, headspace, whose amazing work with young people I’ve seen firsthand through their Career Mentoring Program.
Mental health support matters. Sometimes it’s a crisis line. Sometimes it’s a safe conversation. Sometimes it’s someone lending you a spark when your own fire is flickering.
Thank you for supporting me, Lifeline and everyone who might need someone in their corner. 💛
Supporting Lifeline
Lifeline is a national charity providing Australians who are experiencing emotional distress access to 24-hour crisis support, suicide prevention, mental health, and domestic and family violence prevention services.
Lifeline exists to ensure that no person in Australia has to face their toughest moments alone.
Our experience has shown us that it is through connection that we can find hope. That’s why we are available 24 hours a day to listen without judgement to anyone in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, distressed, or experiencing a crisis. Each year, Lifeline receives over 1.3 million contacts to our crisis support services.
By supporting Lifeline, you are ensuring the Lifeline network has the critical technology, resources and people necessary to deliver crisis support, self-led support, and counselling services around the clock.
