Pushups are Sh*tty, but Mental Illness is F**ked.

Hi all,

I'll be completing 3,307 push-ups again in June to raise awareness and funds for better mental health in Australia. 

Poor mental health is a debilitating, unrelenting, frightening and exhausting condition for sufferers and those who support them.

As a psychology student, it is devastating to understand how significantly any degree of mental illness impacts sufferers in a multitude of ways each day.

We need to raise awareness and normalise this condition to help and support those suffering, until science and increased understanding can provide better support and send mental illness into extinction.

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 much-needed mental health services and initiatives.

If you are challenged by mental illness, I personally find that daily physical activity or sweaty exercise helps clear my mind, gets blood pumping to my brain and allows me to shake off negative and excess energy. It certainly helps me to get a good night's sleep!

So, I'll do the pushups if everyone could please make a donation and discuss mental illness. You'll truly be making a difference to so many people who are suffering but push through in silence.

Alternatively, feel free to sign up and join me!

With love, Jack

Dedicated to: Those I love and care about who struggle daily with poor mental illness
