My Push for Better Challenge

I'm completing 3,249 'Jack Rabbits' (ab exercises as my wrists are too cooked to do push ups anymore) in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. 

I would love it if you could show your support by making any small or big - every bit counts - tax-deductible donation to my page.

Living with Depression for a long time I understand the battle of Mental Health well.... its really tough so this is why this is important to me.  If you cant donate just have a chat with a friend and help raise some awareness and remove the stigma this is as important as anything else.  A person I went to school with took his life a couple of years ago - I felt so sad that this was the only way out he saw, if only he had of called someone or talked to someone.  You never know when a call to lifeline could save someones life. All of my donations go to local lifeline service - this helps to train the volunteers who sit on the other end of the line. But lets talk about Mental Health - thats step one in removing the stigma and making people comfortable enough to chat about their struggles and sometimes sharing yours can help too. And just listen, you dont need answers just to listen. 

 

Or jump on my team and help us beat last years push up total - we will take any assistance, you dont need to do the whole lot, you can set your own target and just help contribute to our total.  Its fun to be part of a team.

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