Why I'm Pushing

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

Each push-up represents a life lost. 3,307 is the number of Australians who died by suicide in 2024.

This cause is deeply personal to me. I lost a close friend in May, and devastatingly, this is not the first time suicide has taken someone close to me. The hardest part is realising that the majority of people have been impacted by this kind of loss.

If doing a crazy amount of push-up helps raise awareness, then I'm in.

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.
