About My Challenge

I’m completing 3,307 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.

Mental health has plagued our family for years, but last year it impacted us irreparably. Like so many families, we’ve felt the heartbreak, grief and ripple effects that mental illness can leave behind.

Somewhere amongst the hard days, “we can do hard things” became our family motto. This challenge feels like the perfect way to honour that - to turn pain into purpose, and to start conversations that matter.

To be completely honest, this will genuinely push my boundaries physically and mentally. There will probably be sore arms, plenty of complaining, and moments where I question why I signed up… but that’s kind of the point. Growth doesn’t happen in comfort zones.

So I’m asking you to come along for the ride - cheer me on, keep me accountable, share the message, or support by making a tax-deductible donation to my page. Every dollar raised helps support mental health programs and reminds people they’re not alone. 


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

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.
