Why I am Pushing for BETTER

This June, I’m taking on The Push-Up Challenge and completing 3,214 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.

That’s one push-up for every life lost to suicide in Australia in a single year — and that number is not just a statistic. It’s a devastating reality.

I’m doing this because the darkness that looms around mental health is sickening — and we need to do more as a nation. Too many lives are being lost, and it’s time to break the silence, smash the stigma, and push for change.

You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to my page. Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes by funding vital services, support systems, and community initiatives across the country.

Together, we can bring light where it’s needed most.
Thank you for standing with me.
