About My Challenge
Hi, I’m Vanessa, and I’m taking part in the Push-Up Challenge—an annual event where participants complete 3,214 push-ups over 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
Why 3,214 push-ups? That number represents the 3,214 lives lost to suicide in Australia in 2023. It’s a powerful reminder of why mental health matters—and why we need to talk about it, support one another, and fund the services that can make a real difference.
My personal fundraising goal is $800 — but even more would be absolutely amazing! 🌟
All donations are tax-deductible and go toward mental health charities that provide critical support, education, and early intervention initiatives.
Every push-up counts. Every dollar helps. Let’s #pushforbetter mental health outcomes—together. 💙
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.
