About Our Challenge
This June, we're taking on The Push-Up Challenge and completing a heap of push-ups between 3-26 June to raise funds and awareness for mental health.
You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to our fundraising page or joining our Team to be a part of the fun.
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia.
Supporting Lifeline Ballarat VIC
Once again Lifeline Ballarat is getting behind The Push-Up Challenge to raise awareness for mental health and the impact of suicide in our community.
Every dollar raised will directly support our local services—training and supporting Crisis Supporters to answer calls on the Lifeline crisis line, running community workshops, and providing education that equips people with the skills and knowledge to support each other through life’s challenges.
In 2026, we’re focused on expanding our reach across Ballarat and the region—training more people to answer crisis calls and ensuring our workshops reach even more members of the community.
Together, we are building a community where everyone feels heard, supported, and knows there’s always someone ready to listen—just a phone call away.
Supporting each other, one conversation at a time.

Donating money to Steve has the added bonus of motivating him to do more push ups. This way his push up form has the opportunity to improve over time. He will then become much stronger and increase his muscle mass percentage, staving off chronic illnesses as he ages.
