About My Challenge
This year, I’m taking on the Push-Up Challenge; completing 3307 push ups in 24 days, which represents the lives lost to suicide in Australia in 2024 (latest figures). The money raised goes towards the Push For Better Foundation and raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention.
This challenge is deeply personal to me, in memory of my beautiful grandma, Penny Erken, and a dear family friend, Justin Snape. Losing them has left a lasting impact on my life, and this is my way of honouring them and helping others who may be struggling with mental health.
If you’re able to, I’d be so grateful for your support. A tax-deductible donation can be made to my page. Anything helps- big or small! Thank you💛
