Why I’m Pushing for Mental Health 🥊

Welcome to my Push-Up Challenge page!

I'm completing 3,307 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia 💪🏻

Over the last decade, I’ve faced my fair share of challenges and tried to navigate them on my own. If that time has taught me anything, it’s that trying to carry everything by yourself is exhausting - and that there is real strength in asking for help.

It took time for me to realise that we don’t have to work through life's tough seasons in isolation. Recently, I experienced firsthand how powerful a supportive community can be. Joining the Hit Fit Maidstone Fam over the last month has been such an incredibly positive experience for me, and it's a perfect reminder of what happens when people lift each other up 🥊

Now, I want to use this challenge to help break the stigma around mental health and remind anyone who might be struggling that support is out there.

Every single push-up I do alongside my Hit Fit crew, and every dollar we raise, serves a bigger purpose: to encourage people to reach out when they need it most.

My goal is simple. If the sweat, the sore muscles, and the funds we raise can help even just one person feel supported enough to ask for help, then every single rep will be entirely worth it.

Thank you so much for your support, your donations, and for helping us shine a light on mental health. Let’s make a difference, one push-up at a time! 

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

Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding support for mental health initiatives.
