About My Challenge
I'm completing 1,654 push-ups and 1,654 sit-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
I take this challenge extremely personally - we lost my brother Nick to suicide on Boxing Day 2013 after essentially a 27 year battle with Bipolar Type 2 Disorder. His life, and in turn ours, was so difficult, chaotic at times, with fleeting moments of joy and whilst the struggle was obvious to us in the family, to the outside World, he did his best to keep it hidden. I remember so vividly him telling me, he would never take his own life because he didn't want us to go through that - he didn't leave a note, little warning outside of being unhappy at a time everyone wanted you to be (Christmas), but we knew, when he made that choice, he felt it was "best" for us. No words could be further from the truth and the impact his choice had on not just us, but so many others, is why I will always speak about his life and passing - if we learn nothing from it, that is the real tragedy. I miss him everyday and whilst I "understand" the decision he made, I wish he hadn't and there was more support from the system when we were helpless, when he was helpless.
To help me to continue to hope and strive for better outcomes for those struggling who can't see the way out, I hope you can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to my page.
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.
I love you Nick, miss you so much my Brother!
