About My Challenge
The noodle arms are making a come back - I'm completing 3,307 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. This represents the number of Australian lives we lost to suicide in 2024 (the most recent data available) - and yes, it's more than last year.
I'm also hoping to raise money for headspace, Australia’s National Youth Mental Health Foundation, which provides early intervention mental health services to 12-25 year olds. Suicide is the leading cause of death in this age group, and it's something we can help prevent.
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia. We all deserve to be mentally healthy. And you all deserve to laugh (again) at my noodle arms.
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.
