About My Challenge
In loving memory of our big brother Pat, who we heartbreakingly lost to suicide in 1998, I’m taking on the Push-Up Challenge once again — 3,214 push-ups in 23 days — to shine a light on mental health and raise vital funds for services that save lives.
This isn’t just a fitness challenge. It’s a tribute. It’s my way of honouring Pat’s memory, starting conversations, and standing up for the thousands of Australians who are struggling in silence.
If you’re able to, please consider supporting this cause with a tax-deductible donation. Every dollar makes a difference — funding life-changing mental health initiatives and pushing for better outcomes across the country.
Let’s do this together. For Pat. For those still fighting. For a future where no one feels alone.
#PushForBetter
Dedicated to: Patrick Oort
