About My Challenge

I'm completing the full 3,214 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. Last year I successfully completed a half challenge, and this year I want to push myself to do a full challenge.

Everyone in their life has experienced or known someone who has experienced a mental health condition. Mental health is impacted by so many different factors in our lives, and exercise is one way that can help improve it. By participating in this challenge and doing a full challenge this year, I hope I can encourage those who have struggled to at least give a go at using physical exercise to improve their mental health.

Due to physical injuries in my wrist I will not be doing push-ups, but instead a variety of exercises including planks, pendulum bends, squats, and sit-ups, among other exercises. I hope this encourages those participating and supporting me to find the right exercises for them rather than something that does not suit them, and give up prematurely.

You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to my page.

Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.
