About My Challenge

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

This isn’t just a fitness challenge for me. Mental health has shaped parts of my life in ways that aren’t always visible things like constant tension, disrupted sleep, and periods where even simple things feel heavier than they should. It’s something I’ve had to learn to manage quietly, while still showing up for work, relationships, and life.

Exercise has been one of the few things that consistently helps me stay grounded. It gives me structure, clears my head, and reminds me that I’m still in control of how I move forward. That’s a big part of why I chose this challenge.

Mental health struggles don’t always look obvious, and a lot of people deal with them in silence. If this challenge does anything, I want it to start conversations and remind people they’re not alone in it.

If you’d like to support, any donation, big or small goes toward helping others who are dealing with similar challenges.
