About My Challenge
Along with some amazing students and staff at my school, I'm completing 3,214 push-ups/squats/sit-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
As everybody who knows me already knows well, I am in no way a fit, sporty person and I know I'm going to feel every one of these exercises. But 3214 deaths to suicide in one year in Australia is 3214 too many. We have to end the stigma around mental health. We have to build community and make sure no one is left behind.
I'd really appreciate your encouragement over the net few weeks - I am sure there will be days I regret taking on this challenge and will never say no to someone joingin me for some of my daily exercises. Additionally you can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to Headspace via my page.
Dedicated to: Andrew, Jennie and all my students who are fighting for good mental health
