About My Challenge

Mental health isn’t just something that affects “other people” — it’s something every one of us will face in some form during our lifetime. Sometimes it’s the pressure of work, the stress of raising kids, relationship struggles, financial worries, or battles with our own personal demons. Other times it can arrive without warning, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or stuck.

The truth is, no one is immune. Behind the smiles, the busy schedules, and the daily routines, many people are carrying struggles we can’t see. That’s why support services like Lifeline are so important. They provide a lifeline when people need it most — a safe place to turn, a voice to listen, and hope during someone’s darkest moments.

This June 2026, I’ll be taking part in the Push for Better Challenge — pushing myself physically through 3,307 push-ups while helping push for something far more important: better mental health support for everyone.

I’m asking for your support through a donation to this incredible cause. Every dollar raised helps fund services that save lives and support people doing it tough. And as an added bonus, your donation is tax deductible — so you can do good while giving back in more ways than one.

Together, we can turn push-ups into purpose, sweat into support, and donations into real change.

If you’ve ever struggled, known someone who has, or simply want to make a difference — now is the time to donate. Let’s Push for Better, together.

Supporting Lifeline

Lifeline is a national charity providing Australians who are experiencing emotional distress access to 24-hour crisis support, suicide prevention, mental health, and domestic and family violence prevention services.

Lifeline exists to ensure that no person in Australia has to face their toughest moments alone.

Our experience has shown us that it is through connection that we can find hope. That’s why we are available 24 hours a day to listen without judgement to anyone in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, distressed, or experiencing a crisis. Each year, Lifeline receives over 1.3 million contacts to our crisis support services.

By supporting Lifeline, you are ensuring the Lifeline network has the critical technology, resources and people necessary to deliver crisis support, self-led support, and counselling services around the clock.
