Third year .. yet to complete the challenge

This will be my 3rd attempt to complete the Push-Up Challenge.

Last year, I got injured and had to pull out before the end. This year, I’ve put in a little sneaky pre-season conditioning, so I’m hoping this will finally be my year.

The target is 3,307 push-ups in 24 days.

My team is called MTBz, which stands for Meet the Boyz. We’re a group of mountain bikers who meet every Wednesday evening in the Illawarra for a ride in the bush, followed by a chat circle where we check in, share our wins, and talk honestly about the challenges in our lives.

Through authenticity and vulnerability, we connect, grow, and support each other to become better men, fathers, partners, and friends.

AND... If we notice something is a little off, perhaps one of the guys is a quiet, or someone doesnt turn up for a few weeks... guarenteed there will be a bunch of calls and private messages checking in with them.. "Hey bro,..didnt see you last night... you OK?"

Poor mental health is on the rise in Australia, and it’s so important that anyone who finds themselves overwhelmed or in distress knows how to reach out for help when they need it.

The thought that someone could become so overwhelmed that they might consider suicide as a way to end their emotional pain is truly heartbreaking. That’s why I’ve chosen Lifeline as my charity this year.
