About My Challenge
I’m doing 3,307 push-ups in 24 days to represent the 3,307 Australians who lost their lives to suicide in 2024.
Mental health is something I’ve lived with personally for many years. I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression, and there were times in my life when things felt overwhelming. What got me through wasn’t willpower alone—it was getting help, receiving treatment, and having people around me who love and care about me.
That’s why this challenge matters to me.
The difference between someone struggling and someone finding hope again is often getting the help they need at the right time. Sadly, sometimes we lose people who never got the help they needed, and sometimes we lose people despite the support and treatment they received.
Mental illness is complicated, and it’s every bit as real as any physical illness.
It’s okay to feel sad, anxious, scared, or overwhelmed. It’s okay to cry. Nobody should feel ashamed to ask for help when they’re struggling. Raising awareness, encouraging people to seek support, and looking out for one another can make a real difference.
The funds raised will support Lifeline and their work helping Australians through some of the hardest moments of their lives.
If you’re able to donate, I’d really appreciate it.
And yes—I picked the push-up challenge because I’m waaay better at push-ups than giving up beer.
