ADD A ZERO
33,070 PUSHES COMPLETED IN MEMORY OF MY BROTHER
>3,307 PUSHES COMPLETED FOR LIFELINE
143% $2866/$2000
This year, parallel to completing the challenge of 3,307 pushes, and with thanks to the encouragement of TPUC, I have again pushed myself to ‘ADD A ZERO FOR MY HERO’. My challenge this year was 33,070 pushes in 24 days. My extra goal remains in memory of my late brother Matt. Not only was Matt my big brother, my mate, a leader, graduate, writer, teacher and musician, he remains a hero to me.
Last year I completed 32,140 push-ups in 23 days to raise monetary support for mental health in Australia. I also achieved my own personal goal in memory of my late brother, Matthew James Sullivan, who suicided in 2002. My success last year not only brought an increase to the discussion of mental health, but with generous donations I was able to pass on my total funds raised of almost $3,000.00 to LIFELINE.
On behalf of The Push Up Challenge and their partnership with LIFELINE, I thank you for your time reading and your support of my own personal Push.
Dedicated to: Matthew James Sullivan (1974-2002)
