Pushing for better mental health
Hi All,
Mental illness in our industry in
Australia has long been a silent and challenging problem that has had a
profound impact on individuals, their families, friends and colleagues. Our industry
that provides many of us and our community so much, is overrepresented with mental
health illness and suicide.
As part of my own personal
commitment and contribution to the improvement of mental health for our
industry, I am participating in the Push-Up Challenge 2025 throughout June. Myself,
along my team, and many others across Australia will complete 3,214 push-ups in
23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
Why 3,214? This is the number of
people who took their own lives in 2022 - a confronting and sobering statistic.
Please support me, my team and Lifeline,
the foundation we have nominated as our fund-raising beneficiary.
Supporting Lifeline
Lifeline exists to ensure no person in Australia has to face their toughest moments alone.
Our crisis support services are available 24/7 to listen, without judgement, to any person in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, experiencing crisis or longs to be heard.
Experience shows us it is through connection that we can find hope. With Australians struggling with cost-of-living pressures, increasing inflation, housing insecurity, global instability, and recovery after extreme weather events, our crisis support services have remained in high demand with our voice and text services receiving up to 4,000 contacts a day from help seekers. Our partnership with The Push Up Challenge plays a vital role in raising funds to support the delivery of suicide prevention and crisis support services at a time where we have never been needed more.
Thank you for supporting Lifeline. Your fundraising is helping to save lives.
