About My Challenge

Hello everyone!

Between 5th-28th June, I'll be doing 'The Push-Up Challenge' to push for better mental health and suicide prevention services in Australia.

Over those 24 days, I'm setting my sights on completing 3,249 push-ups. That number isn't arbitrary - it represents the lives lost to suicide in Australia in 2022 (the latest data available). That's 8 people too many each day.

The funds I raise through my 'push-upping' will go to Lifeline, a crucial 24-hour crisis support and suicide prevention service available to everyone.

Lifeline has provided support to me and thousands of other Australians in times of need. 

I will be sure to keep everyone up to date on the progress of my push-ups (and my massive triceps) when the challenge starts on June 5th! In the lead-up, please feel free to make a donation, however big or small.

Thank you!

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.
