About My Challenge
I'm completing 3,214 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. This number represents the number of lives lost to suicide in Australia in 2023 (the most recent available data).
According to the QLD Government, about 1 in 5 Australians will experience a mental illness in any given year. Almost half will experience a mental health problem at some point in their lives.
Having good mental health is just as important as having good physical health. Our mental health influences how we think, feel and act. It can impact our work, relationships and our physical health.
Just as all people are different, so are the types of mental illness and their impact. Some people may need support for a short amount of time but others may need long-term support. It’s normal to have ups and downs but if you’re struggling with mental ill-health, help is available.
If you would like to show your support, you are welcome to make a tax-deductible donation to my page.
Every dollar raised wil go towards the vital funds for #headspace in support of their national mental health programs.
Supporting headspace National
headspace is Australia’s National Youth Mental Health Foundation, providing early intervention mental health services to 12-25 year olds.
Each year, headspace helps thousands of young people access vital support through our headspace centres in over 157 communities across Australia, our online and phone counselling services, our vocational services, and our presence in schools.
The support headspace receives from the community helps us achieve our vision - that all young Australians are supported to be mentally healthy and engaged in their communities.
