About My Challenge
I’m doing 3,214 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness for mental health in Australia, an issue close to my heart as a former seafarer and advocate for crew wellbeing.
While the funds raised support mental health services here through the Push for Better Foundation, I’m also using this challenge to try to help shine a spotlight on the mental health of seafarers worldwide - an amazing group of individuals all too often overlooked, despite the critical role they play in facilitating world trade.
Every donation and repost makes a difference. Let’s #pushforbetter together.
Supporting Push For Better Foundation
The Push For Better Foundation raises awareness and engages people in mental health through connection, education and health and wellbeing. We #pushforbetter.
