Push ups are hard; but so is dealing with mental health stuff
I'm completing 3,307 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. Full disclosure: I do not think I'm actually in fit shape to complete three thousand push ups in three weeks. I am trying anyway, because as hard as it is to lift my heavy self off the ground multiple times in quick succession, I know from experience (unfortunately) that it is much harder to lift someone else out of a bad space mentally. Especially without training. But, there are people all across the country trying to do that right now, for others or for themselves, and I figure if I can get people to laugh a bit watching me fumble my way through basic physical exercise, maybe they'll feel a bit more comfortable and won't look the other way when they see someone else out there struggling to pull themselves or someone else out of the danger zone and back on an even keel. I don't know; maybe it's a dumb idea. But if you don't give it a go, how do you go about finding out?
My donation amount is set to $10 on here because that can get you a few books at a lifeline shop, and I thought that made the most sense. Idk, I'm sort of lost when it comes to fundraising.
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.
