About My Challenge

Mental health is something that touches us all, whether directly or indirectly. For me, it's deeply personal. I lost my father to suicide when I was just four years old - a loss that shaped my life in ways I'm still learning to understand.  Even though I was too you to fully grasp what was happening at the time, the ripple effects of that loss have never left me.

Mental illness is often invisible, yet it's impact can be devastating.  Too many people suffer in silence, feeling isolated, misunderstood, or ashamed.  I believe we need to change that.  We need to open up conversation, reduce the stigma and make it ok to not be ok.

That's why I'm completing 3,214 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.   Every push I do is in memory for Geoff, and for everyone else who's struggling, has struggled or has lost someone that they love.

If my story can help even one person feel less alone, or encourage someone to reach out for help, then it's worth every push up and every conversation.

Together, we can make a difference.

Supporting Lifeline

Lifeline exists to ensure no person in Australia has to face their toughest moments alone.
Our crisis support services are available 24/7 to listen, without judgement, to any person in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, experiencing crisis or longs to be heard.

Experience shows us it is through connection that we can find hope. With Australians struggling with cost-of-living pressures, increasing inflation, housing insecurity, global instability, and recovery after extreme weather events, our crisis support services have remained in high demand with our voice and text services receiving up to 4,000 contacts a day from help seekers. Our partnership with The Push Up Challenge plays a vital role in raising funds to support the delivery of suicide prevention and crisis support services at a time where we have never been needed more.

Thank you for supporting Lifeline. Your fundraising is helping to save lives.
