Pushing the mental limit!

One in five Australians aged 16-85 experience a mental illness in any given year, and almost half of all Australians will experience a mental illness in their lifetime.  Despite these statistics and the devastating effects mental illness can have, mental health remains a topic in the shadows, with many people choosing to bear the weight of their illness alone rather than seek support.

This year, I'm pushing myself to complete 3,249 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health.  I hope that in doing so, I can start important conversations and de-stigmatize mental illness with friends and family, and contribute to funding much-needed crisis support and suicide prevention services in Australia.

Any support you can give (either through high-fives and tasty carbs, or a tax-deductible donation to my page!) will be enthusiastically welcomed and greatly appreciated cool

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.
