Sookiest team member
This is the 4th year I have been suckered into the push up challenge. It is a good cause - a fantastic one even - but no matter how much I promise myself that this year I will prepare myself for over ten billion pushups in one month, I am once again caught off guard by the complete disdain my arms have for me, and insist to rebel.
Therefore I have decided that should our team hit its target of $2500 raised for lifeline, I will do my last 10 push ups in a ridiculous outfit.
How quirky and whimsical, you might say, what a selfless person Maren must be to do something so embarassing for a charity.
But you would be wrong. This is a purely selfish motive for lifeline to raise so much money that it cures the mental health crisis and I don't have to do any more push ups ever again.
Below is lifeline's reasons for raising funds, which are more honourable than my own.
I'm completing 1,654 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to my page.
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.
