I'm doing something stupid.

In 2024, 3,307 lives were lost to suicide. 

But for the grace of god and the unrelenting support of friends and family, I was very nearly one of them. 

I've had my struggles with mental health over the years, but that was different. It was a dark, hostile place and it very nearly got me. 
But, two years on, the sun has come out. 

I'm happy, getting healthier, and everything's looking up.

So, I'm taking up this challenge. 

I'm completing 3,307 movements in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. Some of them will be push-ups. Some will be squats. Some will be lunges. What do they have in common? I hate them all. 

I'm doing this because I don't want anyone else to go through what I went through. Or, if they have too, I want them to have the resources to reach the other side. 

Am I going to pull it off? God only knows. That's 140 movements per day, which is the equivalent of the workout I do twice a week. It's going to suck. There may be strong language involved. 

But, the spirit is willing, and the flesh will do what it's damn well told.
