About My Challenge
Hi! I'm Nicholas Leendertse and I'm sure a lot of you know me, mostly from school.
3,214 push-ups is a lot of push-ups to complete in 23 days, especially for a student with a heavy school workload, but I think that's what makes this even more important. Taking time out of my day to push myself shows just how disciplined, commited and willing we are to support a cause that matters deeply to many of us.
Mental health is something that affects a lot of us, whether directly or indirectly. In Australia, 42.9% of Australians aged 16-85 had experienced a mental disorder at some point in their life and 21.5% had a 12 month mental disorder (According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics between 2020 - 2022).
I've seen how common it is for young people to struggle silently with stress, anxiety and depression and it's made me realise just how important it is to take action, and support services are able to provide amazing help.
While this will push me both physically and mentally, it's nothing compared to the challenges faced by those who deal with these issues.
Every dollar helps by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.
Thank you <3
Supporting Lifeline
Lifeline exists to ensure no person in Australia has to face their toughest moments alone.
Our crisis support services are available 24/7 to listen, without judgement, to any person in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, experiencing crisis or longs to be heard.
Experience shows us it is through connection that we can find hope. With Australians struggling with cost-of-living pressures, increasing inflation, housing insecurity, global instability, and recovery after extreme weather events, our crisis support services have remained in high demand with our voice and text services receiving up to 4,000 contacts a day from help seekers. Our partnership with The Push Up Challenge plays a vital role in raising funds to support the delivery of suicide prevention and crisis support services at a time where we have never been needed more.
Thank you for supporting Lifeline. Your fundraising is helping to save lives.
