Why I’m Taking on the Challenge, and Why It Matters
This year I am taking part in the Push-Up Challenge - but with a personal twist. Instead of push-ups, I'll be doing 3,214 sit-ups over 23 days. Sit-ups might not be the traditional route, but it's my way of reaching the goal- and every rep still carries the same weight and meaning.
I'm part of a passionate team at Lifeline, where I serve as a Digital Support Crisis Member. Every week I see the impact that mental health struggles can have. I also see the strength and courage it takes to reach out, and how vital it is that help is always there when someone needs it.
Each sit-up I do is a tribute to the life that ended too soon. It's a way to honour those we've lost, raise awareness about the importance of mental health, and help spark conversations that could save lives.
Together as a team, we're raising awareness and crucial funds to support mental health services across Australia. You can help by making a tax-deductible donation to our fundraising page.
Thank you for supporting me, my team, and the thousands of Australians impacted by mental health challenges. Let's keep pushing, together!
Dedicated to: Uncle Chris
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.
