About Our Challenge
This page is dedicated to Abbie Richardson.
Abbie was a beautiful person who always went above and beyond for the people she loved most. Abbie was fiercely unique and could always light up a room with her laugh. Abbie loved music and her friends, and has left a void in the world that will be impossible to ever fill.
If you knew Abbie - you knew you were truely loved and cared for. Sadly, Abbie took her own life in March 2023.
This June, just like last June, Abbie's sister, Claire, has created this fundraising team, "Abs for Abs", to Push For Better with the Push Up Challenge. We are completing 3,249 push-ups between 5-28 June, 2024 to raise funds and awareness for mental health.
You can show your support by making a donation to our fundraising page, joining our Team to be a part of the fun, or simply sharing our page to help promote our "abs for Abs" team!
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia.
With love and radiance- this is for Abbie.
Supporting Lifeline
Lifeline exists to ensure no person in Australia has to face their darkest moments alone.
We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week 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 has played 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.
