This is going to be tough- but my 'Why' is bigger...

I’m taking on the challenge of completing 1,654 air squats in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.

Honestly, this will push me — I’m not super fit, I have had a bunch of surgeries and never fully recovered so showing up every day is going to be tough. But my “why” is bigger than the discomfort.

Every day in my work as a Community Engagement Officer with headspace Canberra, I see how important it is that young people have access to support when things get hard. I see the difference early support can make — and what can happen when it’s not there. That’s why this matters so much to me.

The funds raised will go directly back into supporting young people in our community through headspace Canberra programs — helping them access free, early mental health support when they need it most.

I’m doing this for the young people who deserve to feel supported, heard, and not alone.

 

If you’re able to, I’d really appreciate your support. You can make a tax-deductible donation to my page and help make a real difference.

 

Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed services and support.

Supporting headspace Canberra

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

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.
