Doing it for the mental
I'm completing 3,307 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
For as long as I can remember, depression has been a quiet companion. It showed up before I had the words for it.
When I was 17, I lost my dad. Grief didn't arrive as a wave; it settled in like weather. For a long time, I wasn't sure I'd find my way back to myself.
Therapy changed that. Slowly I started to understand my mind instead of fearing it. I learned that happiness wasn't something to chase down or earn. It was something I could build, one honest conversation at a time. Some days I still struggle. Most days, I don't.
I'm doing this for my younger brother. He's growing up in the same family, with the same loss, and some of the same wiring. I want him to know that asking for help is one of the bravest things a person can do.
Every dollar you give helps make sure someone like him — or like 17-year-old me — doesn't have to wait so long to feel okay again.
