Push ups with Matt

Last year my brother Matt and I messaged each other each morning we finished our push’s ups, making sure that the other person had no excuse not to have done them. We were doing this to be part of a fun challenge, with a background message of mental health.

This year, I have to do it on my own, and mental health must be the key message.

Matt is not here to check in with me each day to see if I can do a few push ups. He is also not here to just talk about life. And maybe if I checked in with him more frequently outside of a physical challenge things might be different.

Mental health impacts everyone differently, and it should never be dismissed. I would encourage everyone that takes the time to read this message to join in for the 2026 push up challenge not to send a financial donation, but to use it as a way to check in with people on a frequent basis to see if they are doing their push ups, but also to make sure they they are ok.

I would love to send this message to as many people as possible and echo the importance of checking in on each other

Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you Matty
