💪 This June, we're taking on The Push-Up Challenge — Australia's largest mental health and fitness event!🏃‍♂️👟🇦🇺💪

From 3–26 June 2026, our team is committing to thousands of push-ups (you can modify them to suit your fitness level — knee push-ups, squats, planks, or any movement that gets you going) to raise vital funds and awareness for mental health across Australia.

🌟Why are we doing this?🌟

Every push-up honours the 3,307 lives lost to suicide in Australia in 2024. Behind that number are real people — mates, family members, colleagues, and community members. By moving together, we're pushing for better: smashing the stigma, building resilience, and funding life-changing support.1935df

Our team goal: 💸$1,800 AUD💸 — and we're determined to smash it! Every dollar goes straight to supporting mental health services like headspace (helping young people aged 12–25 with counselling and early intervention) and Lifeline. Funds help deliver free, confidential support when it's needed most.

Participants in past challenges report feeling fitter, stronger, and in a much better mood. Many say it improves their own mental wellbeing while connecting them with others. You'll get daily mental health tips and facts through the free app — turning exercise into real, positive change.ba01f8
