About My Challenge

This is my fifth year doing The Push-Up Challenge: 3,307 push-ups across 24 days, one for every Australian we lost to suicide in 2024.

I keep coming back because the number is brutal and the response is so ordinary. Most of the time, helping someone is just noticing, asking a second question, and actually listening to the answer.

The push-ups are my excuse to talk about that out loud for a few weeks. If you can chip in, your donation funds Lifeline, headspace, and the work that keeps these conversations going. If you can’t, ask someone how they’re really going today. That counts too.
