About My Challenge

I'm completing 3,214 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. This will be tough, my push-up game is not strong!

 

In 2023, 3,214 lives were lost to suicide, and we can all do something to change that. Myself and the FIT by Fierce Team that I am in are on a mission to raise $5500 and would be speachless (yes I would be speechless!) if we could reach that. 

Why $5500? This amount would fund training for 10 crisis support volunteers for Lifeline Dubbo, allowing them to answer calls 24/7 from all across Australia. Training a Crisis Supporter is costly due to trainers, materials, and infrastructure, and the training is nationally accredited. Students need to contribute to this training, which can be a barrier for some. Removing this barrier for 10 people in our community would mean 10 more people offering a judgment-free, confidential, and safe place to talk

You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to my page, following and sharing my shameless reels from instagram (@karenthebester), hitting the like button (even in you cringe at my bad push up form) or even a message of crazy support - everything is appreciated!

Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.

Thank you all for your support and at the end of June we will need to celebrate!
