Pushing for Progress

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

Why 3,214? That number represents the lives lost to suicide in Australia in 2023 — a powerful reminder of why this cause matters.

I’ve had my own battles with mental health, and I know firsthand how important it is to speak up, reach out, and support one another. The ability to talk openly and feel heard can truly change lives.

By supporting this challenge, you’re helping to break the stigma, fund vital mental health services, and spread the message that no one has to face their struggles alone.

Every push-up counts. Every conversation helps. Every donation makes a difference.

Thanks for getting behind me and this great cause.

Supporting headspace National

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