About My Challenge
This June, I'm taking on The Push-Up Challenge 2025 in honour of my little sister Abbie. Over 24 days, I'll complete 3,214 push-ups, representing the lives lost to suicide in 2023—one of them being our Abbie.
This challenge isn’t just about fitness; it’s about starting conversations, raising awareness, and breaking the stigma around mental health. Abbie is remembered for being there for others- always listening, always advocating, always showing up when it mattered. She made others feel seen, even when she was struggling herself. We push for better now in her name, continuing the advocacy she strived for, and creating space for others to speak up and feel supported.
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.
Dedicated to: Abbie Richardson
Supporting Lifeline
Lifeline exists to ensure no person in Australia has to face their toughest moments alone.
Our crisis support services are available 24/7 to listen, without judgement, to any person in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, experiencing crisis or longs to be heard.
Experience shows us it is through connection that we can find hope. With Australians struggling with cost-of-living pressures, increasing inflation, housing insecurity, global instability, and recovery after extreme weather events, our crisis support services have remained in high demand with our voice and text services receiving up to 4,000 contacts a day from help seekers. Our partnership with The Push Up Challenge plays a vital role in raising funds to support the delivery of suicide prevention and crisis support services at a time where we have never been needed more.
Thank you for supporting Lifeline. Your fundraising is helping to save lives.
