About My Challenge
On Saturday 23/05/2027
my group of mates, lost one of our best mates, Elijah “Daffy” Hanna, to suicide.
Elijah was the kind of person who could brighten anyone’s day. His humour, kindness, and incredible personality left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. More than anything, he was someone we were proud to call our mate.
Elijah had a passion for football. He was a dedicated supporter of St Kilda and played for the Heathmont Jets. Although an ACL injury sidelined him from playing, he remained committed to his team, always showing up to support his teammates, whether from the bench or by helping around the club on game days.
The loss of Elijah has had a profound impact on all of us. In his memory, we have decided to take part in the Push-Up Challenge to raise awareness and funds for mental health support services. From June 3 to June 26, we will complete 3,307 push-ups, representing the number of Australians who lost their lives to suicide in 2024.
Through this challenge, we hope to contribute to a future where more people can access the support they need during difficult times. We also hope to encourage more open conversations about mental health and help break down the stigma that can prevent people from reaching out for help.
This challenge means so much to us. It is our way of honouring Elijah’s memory, supporting a cause that matters deeply, and trying to make a positive difference in our community.
Forever loved and never forgotten, Daffy.
Dedicated to: Elijah "Daffy" Hanna
