About My Challenge
We may be more technologically connected than ever before, but we are also more relationally isolated and levels of anxiety and stress are through the roof.
The PushUp Challenge raises funds for mental health improvement initiatives, and organisations like Lifeline and Headspace. Having been a Lifeline counsellor, I can attest to the invaluable work it does in providing people in distress with a non-judgemental ear.
This year, the challenge is to do 3,307 push ups over 24 days. Representing the number of people who died by suicide in 2024.
I will aim to do all push ups on my toes (which is a massive challenge considering I can only do about 20 now) so would love your support! You can make a tax-deductible donation to my page.
Thank you!
Supporting Lifeline
Lifeline is a national charity providing Australians who are experiencing emotional distress access to 24-hour crisis support, suicide prevention, mental health, and domestic and family violence prevention services.
Lifeline exists to ensure that no person in Australia has to face their toughest moments alone.
Our experience has shown us that it is through connection that we can find hope. That’s why we are available 24 hours a day to listen without judgement to anyone in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, distressed, or experiencing a crisis. Each year, Lifeline receives over 1.3 million contacts to our crisis support services.
By supporting Lifeline, you are ensuring the Lifeline network has the critical technology, resources and people necessary to deliver crisis support, self-led support, and counselling services around the clock.
