About My Challenge
Last year and this year have been hellish for my mental and physical health, with months worth of time spent in hospital and care facilities including two months straight where I was forcibly admitted to psychiatric care. And as a consequence of my mental state I had to deal with multiple physical health issues as well.
In spite of all this I am one of the lucky few who was able to afford all the care that I needed to still be standing here today. In Australia many are not so fortunate. The rising cost of living has forced many to forgo professional mental health services to pay for rent, food, fuel and more. Millions have to deal with their issues on their own because they cannot get the care they need.
This June I am participating in the @PushForBetter challenge to do 3,307 pushups across 24 days as both a challenge to improve my own mental and physical health and a campaign to support free mental health services for Australians who need it most. I’d be honoured if you could support my journey and even more grateful if you could donate even a little to help those who need it in our community!
