About My Challenge

I'm completing 3,307 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. 

One of my childhood best mates took his own life this week, and the guilt and regret of falling out of touch with him is devastating. 

He was such a kind soul. Had your back at every turn, and was super competitive, he pushed me to be better. I got the chance to catch up with him a year ago over a game of golf that I saw he was playing with his Dad and his brother. I am eternally grateful I got the chance to talk to him that last time. 

I can’t imagine what his family is going through, it really puts this challenge in perspective. A few pushups for a good cause. 

I don’t expect anyone to be reading this, and if you are, I am grateful. I’m not sure how the donations work but if at all possible, I would like to give it all to his family. It’s the least I can do. 

Nathan, mate, I’m so sorry I didn’t reach out. We grew apart and I’ll forever regret that. I can still see us playing soccer at lunch, handball with all the guys, and you always pulling away from the pack at sports day. I don’t know what you were going through in the end, but I hope you’re at peace now. Rest easy brother. 

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.
