Pushing Forward - for Yemaya Balson
In loving memory of Yemaya Grace Balson
26th August 2004 - 2nd May 2026
🤍 This June, our family and friends are participating in The Push-Up Challenge in honour of our beautiful Yemaya; a deeply loved daughter, sister, Auntie, and friend.
🤍 Our goal is to each complete 3,307 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
🤍 Together, we are going to help shine the spotlight on the number of lives lost to suicide each year. Help us push for better mental health.
🌻 The Push for Better Foundation aims to engage and educate people in mental and physical health, raise awareness of the mental health issues affecting everyday Australians, and help foster mental wellbeing and fitness.
🌻 We would be so grateful for your support; if you are able, a tax-deductible donation to our page will help us reach our goal.
🌻 Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.
❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜
Yemaya will always be remembered by her vibrant energy, kindness, devout love for others, and her innate ability to light up any room. Yemaya’s magical energy will continue to be our rainbow reminder on the gloomiest of days.
❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜
Remember to be kind, to both yourself and others; Kindness creates connection; and a problem shared is a problem halved.
In honour of Yemaya and all who have experienced or been affected by mental health struggles, let's make life lighter for each other.
With love,
Yemaya's friends and family
