About Our Challenge

We’re attempting the highly questionable feat of completing 3,307 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.


If you’d like to support the Lame Dads, you can make a tax-deductible donation to the page and help us turn terrible fitness into something genuinely positive for mental health. Every dollar helps.


The shitter the fitness, the greater the glory!

Supporting headspace

headspace is Australia’s National Youth Mental Health Foundation, providing early intervention mental health services for 12-25 year olds.

Each year, headspace helps thousands of young people access vital support through our headspace centres in over 175 communities across Australia, our online and phone counselling services, our vocational services, and our presence in schools.

The support headspace receives from the community helps us achieve our vision - that all young Australians are supported to be mentally healthy and engaged in their communities.

Taco doesn’t reckon you can do it, but I said “nah mate, Mat’ll smash it. What would you know anyway, you’re just a lap dog that barks at earwigs” and that shut him right up, so don’t let me down bro. 🤘
