About My Challenge
I'm completing 1,607 tricep curls and heal raises in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in rural Australia. Aussie farmers are doing it incredibly tough, with unprecedented challenges and ongoing drought conditions. Let’s help give them the support they need, so we can continue to enjoy the much needed produce they supply to all of us.
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.
Dedicated to: Aussie Farmers doing it so tough.
Supporting Lifeline Ballarat VIC
Once again Lifeline Ballarat is getting behind The Push-Up Challenge to raise awareness for mental health and the impact of suicide in our community.
Every dollar raised will directly support our local services—training and supporting Crisis Supporters to answer calls on the Lifeline crisis line, running community workshops, and providing education that equips people with the skills and knowledge to support each other through life’s challenges.
In 2025, we’re focused on expanding our reach across Ballarat and the region—training more people to answer crisis calls and ensuring our workshops reach even more members of the community.
Together, we are building a community where everyone feels heard, supported, and knows there’s always someone ready to listen—just a phone call away.
Supporting each other, one conversation at a time.
