About My Challenge

I feel like we have all been affected by suicide in one way or another, whether it be the loss of a loved one, suicidal thoughts when we're at our lowest and even just hearing about other people's experiences around the issue.

Mental health is important and people who are in a crisis and having suicidal thoughts should feel like they are not alone and can get the support they need. 

I am doing this challege to help raise money for Lifeline, a national charity providing all Australians experiencing emotional distress with access to 24 hour crisis support and suicide prevention services.

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

You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to my page.

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

Supporting Lifeline

Lifeline exists to ensure no person in Australia has to face their toughest moments alone.
Our crisis support services are available 24/7 to listen, without judgement, to any person in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, experiencing crisis or longs to be heard.

Experience shows us it is through connection that we can find hope. With Australians struggling with cost-of-living pressures, increasing inflation, housing insecurity, global instability, and recovery after extreme weather events, our crisis support services have remained in high demand with our voice and text services receiving up to 4,000 contacts a day from help seekers. Our partnership with The Push Up Challenge plays a vital role in raising funds to support the delivery of suicide prevention and crisis support services at a time where we have never been needed more.

Thank you for supporting Lifeline. Your fundraising is helping to save lives.
