About My Challenge
In 2023, 3214 Australians took their life with an estimated 65,000 failed attempts. No one deserves to feel this way, and I am attempting to complete a push up for in memory of each of them over 23 days.
In 2021, my body stopped producing testosterone, causing me to gain 10 kilograms in 3 months, and I quickly spiralled into depression. My energy levels were at an all-time low with me feeling puffed after walking up the stairs. Eventually, my family, friends, and the incredible community at Orangetheory helped me feel valued and appreciated, and also encouraged me to continue getting fitter. After this awful experience, I'm now determined to raise awareness about mental health, and prioritising self care so we can all stay happy and healthy.
All donations are greatly appreciated, with all of them going to Lifeline, an organisation who take over 3000 calls a day from people struggling across the country.
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.
