Push Up Challenge
I'm completing 3,307 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
Keen to smash out some push ups to raise money for something that holds weight to me. Without the help of mental health organizations, dedicated healthcare workers, and modern medicine, Id be a lot worse off.
I live with schizoaffective disorder. If that’s a new term for you, the simplest way to understand it is as a combination of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. For me, that means managing unpredictable mood changes alongside living with delusions.
My journey has been challenging at times. It has consisted of multiple stays in locked wards and mental health facilities during the times I’ve been most unwell. A hundred years ago, I would have been completely left behind.
Luckily, we live in a time where support exists for people like me. I’m completing this challenge to give back and show support for others living with/ and managing there mental health.
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.
