Why Am I Doing This?

I'm doing it because mental health matters! Doing a few push-ups each day is the least I can do to support such an important cause. I’m jumping in again this year (third time’s the charm!) raising funds for Headspace, who do incredible work supporting young people through tough times.

As a coach, I talk a lot about building strength—but it's not just about muscles. It’s about mental resilience, showing up when it’s hard, and being part of something bigger than yourself. I want my clients—and anyone watching—to see that small actions can make a big impact.

Plus, let's be real: it’s a fun challenge, a great way to move daily, and there's something pretty powerful about uniting for a cause with a few push-ups (okay, maybe a lot of push-ups).

So here we go again—one rep at a time, for mental health.

Supporting headspace Strathpine

headspace is Australia’s National Youth Mental Health Foundation, providing early intervention mental health services to 12-25 year olds. 

Each year, headspace helps thousands of young people access vital support through our headspace centres in over 157 communities across Australia, our online and phone counselling services, our vocational services, and our presence in schools. 

The support headspace receives from the community helps us achieve our vision - that all young Australians are supported to be mentally healthy and engaged in their communities.
