About My Challenge
Oh, hi there! Thanks for stopping by. I’m Anna (or Span to most) and I'm completing 3,249 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
Why? Great question, but it isn’t THE question. Why wouldn’t I do it? Why do suicide numbers continue to rise each year? Why, still, is there such a stigma and misunderstanding around mental health? And sadly, why the reluctance to reach out for help?
It has taken quite a few years for me to feel comfortable in sharing my story (none more so than the last 6 months) but if it is something that I can do to help someone else understand, relate or identify mental health struggles within themselves, or someone they know, then let me at it.
Poor mental health doesn’t pick or choose. It doesn't take it easy on some more than others. It can be all consuming or it can just sprinkle some clouds and be on its way. It can come in many shades and forms. Everyone is different, and everyone matters. No matter how big or small the battle is, it’s important to reach out if you need to and also, for everyone to check in with those around us.
So without further ado, strap yourselves in, friends. I’m back for another cracker 24 days of pain and I need your help!
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.
I know what to do, and so do you!
Love you all x
