About My Challenge
Last year I took part in Push For Better and was blown away by the support I received. This year, however, the challenge feels even more meaningful.
Over the next 24 days, I’ll be completing 1,654 push ups to raise funds and awareness for men’s mental health. While the challenge itself will test me physically, it’s the cause behind it that matters most.
While mental health affects everyone, I’ve seen firsthand how many of the men in my life have struggled in silence. Last year, my grandad lost his long battle with depression, and that experience has stayed with me. It’s one of the reasons I’ve chosen to dedicate this year’s challenge to men’s mental health.
In my experience, women are often encouraged to lean on their friends, talk openly about what they’re going through, and seek support when things get tough. Many men don’t always have that same sense of community or feel comfortable reaching out when they’re struggling. Too often, they carry the weight alone.
This year, I’m completing the challenge in honour of the men I love, those who are still fighting their battles, and those we’ve lost along the way.
If you’re in a position to support the cause, I’d be incredibly grateful for any donation, big or small. Every contribution helps fund programs, resources, and support services that can make a genuine difference in the lives of those who are struggling.
Thank you for supporting me, this challenge, and a cause that is incredibly close to my heart.
