About My Challenge
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Simon, and there was a time I struggled with my mental health. I have friends that have struggled and are struggling. And there are probably others of my friends and family who are struggling, that I am unaware of.
We find ourselves in a pit of darkness, struggling to see the light. Not because it's not there, but because without proper support and help, we often can't see it for ourselves, and instead, we end up focusing only on the darkness.
I was lucky. I sought help when needed. I worked on myself, to better myself. A lot of people are not there yet. They may never get there. But help is always just a phone call away.
This June I'll be raising awareness and much needed funds by taking part in the push up challenge, Push For Better. I'll be completing 3,214 push ups in 23 days. This number is based on the 3,214 lives lost in 2023 to suicide. If you'd like to sponsor me or make a donation, it would be very much appreciated.
I have chosen for all my proceeds to go to lifeline. They are the much needed phone call that many people ignore making until it's too late. Please donate today and help me make a difference.
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 Lifeline
Lifeline exists to ensure no person in Australia has to face their toughest moments alone.
Our crisis support services are available 24/7 to listen, without judgement, to any person in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, experiencing crisis or longs to be heard.
Experience shows us it is through connection that we can find hope. With Australians struggling with cost-of-living pressures, increasing inflation, housing insecurity, global instability, and recovery after extreme weather events, our crisis support services have remained in high demand with our voice and text services receiving up to 4,000 contacts a day from help seekers. Our partnership with The Push Up Challenge plays a vital role in raising funds to support the delivery of suicide prevention and crisis support services at a time where we have never been needed more.
Thank you for supporting Lifeline. Your fundraising is helping to save lives.
