About My Challenge
This June, I’m taking on The Push-Up Challenge — completing 3,214 push-ups over 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
As a Military Veteran and former Special Forces Commando, I’ve seen the brutal reality of mental illness up close. I’ve lost several teammates and close friends to suicide — strong, capable individuals who carried more than most could ever know. Their loss drives me every single day.
This challenge isn’t just about fitness — it’s about fighting for those who are fighting silently. It’s about reminding people they’re not alone — and that help is real, if we can make it accessible.
You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to my fundraising page. Every dollar raised goes toward vital mental health services and programs that save lives across the country.

Together, let’s #PushForBetter mental health outcomes — and honour the ones we’ve lost by backing the ones still here.
