Mental health can affect anyone even you.
i'm back, as most would be aware by now, about 10 years ago I endured a mental depression event, in reality I had being living with it, for at least 15 years, but that final trigger event finally occurred and my life came crashing down, I was lucky I had help arranged by very close friends, which allowed me to get through it, and manage it every day since, but I know it still lingers below the surface.
But my reason for completing 3,307 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia, this year is not about me, but others around us.
Recently I have become aware of friends amongst us who are fighting their own battles, for one reason or another.
It is strange that in 2026, that some people see mental health issues, as a weakness or not real, everyone can suffer a mental health issue, it just needs a significant trigger to start it, and for many people they struggle through it alone, not knowing how to seek help, and some worry about how others may see or treat that person in society.
Professional assistance is invaluable, and it is available to everyone, no one should walk a dark road alone.
