For My Brother Troy

On January 19th 2026, my brother passed from depression. On that day our family lost a son, a father, a brother and an uncle. For the fight he hid behind his smile and humour, I'm completing 3,307 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. 

You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to my page.

Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.

Supporting headspace

headspace is Australia’s National Youth Mental Health Foundation, providing early intervention mental health services for 12-25 year olds.

Each year, headspace helps thousands of young people access vital support through our headspace centres in over 175 communities across Australia, our online and phone counselling services, our vocational services, and our presence in schools.

The support headspace receives from the community helps us achieve our vision - that all young Australians are supported to be mentally healthy and engaged in their communities.
