About My Challenge

EDIT: I've almost reached 50% of my fundraising target and we haven't started yet! So I'm going to up my game, not least because we're 'allowed' to do things like squats as an alternative. So instead of choosing the 50% option, I'm upping to 3214, push-ups or similar, representing each person lost to suicide in Australia in 2023 frown

 

I'm completing 1,607 (EDIT: 3214!) push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. That's a bit bonkers given I'd rather be riding my motorcycle in my spare time! But there's been 3 suicides in my close family, including my Mum and Nanna, so these kinds of charities are always close to my heart. Suicide affects everyone, regardless of the relationship that you have with the victim.

You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to my page.

Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.

Dedicated to: My Mum, Diane Heggs

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.
