About My Challenge

I'm aiming to complete 3,214 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. In particular headspace national and the incredible work they do with young people across the nation. 

My motivation is varied. It’s for my brother, whom I miss intensely—even after all these years—and to raise awareness of schizophrenia, the illness that took him from me, my family, and his friends. It’s also for me, and the battles I’ve faced with my own diagnosis and the ongoing impacts over the years. It’s for my friends and colleagues who live with mental ill-health and the consequences it has on their daily lives. And lastly, it’s for the young people I have the privilege of supporting during such vulnerable and overwhelming times in their lives.

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

Thanks in advance for your support
