Why do this to myself

Push-Up Challenge 2026 💪 This year I’m taking on 3,307 push-ups as part of the Push-Up Challenge 2026 to raise awareness and support for Lifeline — a vital service that helps Australians in crisis.

I’m proud to be doing this alongside my team at HMAS Moreton, pushing ourselves physically and mentally to make a difference. Every push-up counts toward starting conversations about mental health and showing that support is always within reach.

Let’s keep pushing for better mental health, together. By increasing suicide awareness, let us remind everyone that opening up is not a sign of weakness. It takes a village to raise a kid, it takes teamwork to keep us going. We are not alone - though the nights be dark, the light will shine as the day arrives.

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.
