About My Challenge

I'm doing 3,214 push-ups in 23 days, but not for fitness. Each of those 3,214 push-ups represents an Australian life lost to suicide in 2023, which is 3,214 lives too many. Mental health struggles are real, common, and too often faced alone. Unfortunately, no-one lives a life untouched by these struggles.

 
I’m taking part to raise awareness and funds for  headspace, the Australian National Youth Mental Health Foundation. headspace provides vital mental health services and support to young people across the country. Every donation goes directly toward improving access to life-saving programs and initiatives.
 
This cause means a lot to me – whether you're donating, sharing this page, or simply cheering me on, every bit of support matters. Together, we can push for better mental health outcomes and show that no one has to go through it alone.
 
If you're able to, please consider donating so that together we can make every push-up count. 

Dedicated to: Lionel Larkin
