About My Challenge
I'm doing 3,214 push-ups in 23 days as part of The Push-Up Challenge to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. This target represents the 3,214 people who died by suicide in Australia in 2023 (the most recent stats).
As someone who has struggled with mental health from such an early age, and who has - on more occasions than one could count - contemplated suicide, this challenge hits especially close to home.
It's a constant battle to choose happiness, but I am taking steps to be better, and you can too. You can push for better mental health too by donating to my fundraising page and supporting this important cause: www.thepushupchallenge.com.au/fundraisers/jillsoriano/the-push-up-challenge
Funds raised will go to Lifeline to support much-needed mental health services and initiatives in Australia. Any donation, big or small, is really appreciated!
Dedicated to: Myself and my partner, who both suffer from depression and anxiety.
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.
