About My Challenge

I'm completing 3,214 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. 

I will be doing push-ups alongside my 17 year old son, who inspires me every day with his strength and resilience. He recently overcame a mental health crisis, which lasted three years. He was heavily medicated, gained an excessive amount of weight, attended school two days on a good week and was completely withdrawn. I lived in fear that my son would take a similar path as my cousin Michael, who took his own life. The only way forward after exhausting all avenues was to move to Brazil to spend time with my son's family. 

There my son found his passion for the gym and started exercising daily. He lost over 20 kg, came off all medication and built up his resilience to overcome future challenges. Now, two years later we are back in Australia and my son continues to heal and grow. He attends school five days a week and is thriving. A key element to my son's healing was getting physically active. 

I encourage you to show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to my page, so that others can get the support they need and know that they are not alone in their struggles.
