About Our Challenge
As a former police officer and military member, who has battled with chronic PTSD, I understand the profound impact that mental health issues can have on one's life and career. Over the years, I've faced challenges that many might find hard to imagine, and unfortunately, I've also seen friends and colleagues suffer, some tragically losing their battles.
This is why I am participating in the Push-Up Challenge this June. It’s more than just a fitness goal; it’s a statement. By doing 3,249 push-ups from June 5-29, I'm not only challenging my body but also shedding light on a cause that's deeply personal to me.
Mental health struggles often come with a stigma that can discourage people from seeking help. This needs to change. Everyone, especially those in demanding and traumatic professions, deserves support and understanding.
I'm doing this challenge to honor the memory of friends lost, to stand in solidarity with those who continue to fight, and to hopefully inspire others to open up about their struggles. This challenge is a public display of resilience, a call to awareness, and a step towards healing.
I invite all of you to join me and Team Wantirna. Whether you can do 10 push-ups or 100, your participation counts. Let's push ourselves for mental health awareness and show that no one has to fight alone.
Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can end the stigma
