About Our Challenge
Jake and I are taking on this challenge together in honour of someone we lost far too soon—someone who meant the world to us.
This cause is deeply personal. I asked Jake to join me so we can turn our grief into purpose, and show that even in the toughest times, we have the strength to create change.
We’re tackling 3,214 push-ups in 23 days to raise vital funds and awareness for mental health in Australia.
Every push-up is for a life, a story, a future. You can help by making a tax-deductible donation to my page.
Every dollar fuels mental health services and initiatives that make a real difference.
Let’s #PushForBetter—together.
Supporting Push For Better Foundation
The Push For Better Foundation raises awareness and engages people in mental health through connection, education and health and wellbeing. We #pushforbetter.
