About My Challenge
Next month, I’ll be taking on the Push-Up Challenge to raise money and awareness for mental health support.
This one is personal.
Mental health is something I’ve had my own battles with over the years. I’ve had times where I’ve put on a brave face, told people I was fine when I wasn’t, and carried things quietly because that just felt easier than talking about it.
I know I’m not the only one.
Over the past few years, our local community has lost too many people to suicide. Good people. People who were loved deeply. And every single loss leaves a ripple that reaches far beyond what most people see.
That’s the hard part about mental health — so many people fight battles in silence.
This challenge is obviously about push-ups, but for me, it means a lot more than that. It’s about raising awareness, helping fund support services, and hopefully reminding people that struggling doesn’t make you weak, and that you don’t have to carry everything on your own.
If this challenge starts even one honest conversation, encourages one person to reach out, or helps support someone at the point they need it most, then every push-up will be worth it.
If you’d like to support the cause, donate if you can, share the page, or simply check in on your mates. Sometimes asking “Are you alright?” can make a bigger difference than you realise.
