About My Challenge
Last year we raised just over $1500 for the for leukemia foundation. This year I'm completing 3,249 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health as I work in the industry with the highest rate of suicide in Australia.
Every year 190 Australians working in the construction industry take their own lives; this means we lose a construction worker every second day to suicide.
Construction workers are six times more likely to die from suicide than an accident at work. For our young workers, the facts are that they are well over two times more likely to take their own lives than other young Australian men.
75% of those who take their own life are male
Each year, over 1 million Australians reach out to Lifeline for support.
Lifeline’s 13 11 14 crisis support line receives a call every 28 seconds.
If you would like to 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.
