About My Challenge
Hey,
I’m taking on The Push-Up Challenge from 4–26 June 2025 to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. The challenge is to complete 3,214 push-ups.
This cause is close to my heart—not only because 3,214 people died by suicide in Australia in 2023 (the most recent statistics), but also because I want to set an example for my two young sons, Harvey (7) and Jude (6). They’re a huge part of my motivation for taking this on. I want them to grow up in a world where mental health is spoken about openly, and where help is available to those who need it.
Funds raised will go towards much-needed mental health services and initiatives across the country.
Please donate to help me reach my fundraising target and support this important cause:

Cheers,

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.
