Pushups for Bex
I'm taking part in the 2024 Push-Up Challenge in support of my sister who has struggled with severe depression and anxiety for most of her teenage and adult life.
Growing up I never understood much about her mental illness until I had mental struggles of my own. So as a tribute to my sister, Rebecca, the woman who has guided me through countless phone calls and melt downs, I'll be doing 3,249 push-ups in the month of June to raise funds for Lifeline.
Lifeline is a non-profit telephone service that people can call in times of emotional crisis, when people need help with mental health and support of suicide prevention.
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.
Dedicated to: Rebecca Sanford
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.
