To my ex-colleagues and friends who have departed this world too early...
I’m smashing out 3,249 push-ups this month as part of The Push-Up Challenge to push for better mental health in Australia. This number represents the 3,249 people who died by suicide in Australia in 2022 (the most recent available data).
I'm taking on the Challenge because I want to do something about this number, having lived through some challenges myself and I'm hoping you can help by donating to my fundraising page: www.thepushupchallenge.com.au/fundraisers/jarkkolaukkanen/the-push-up-challenge
Funds raised will go to headspace National to support much-needed mental health services and initiatives in Australia. You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation, big or small, is really appreciated!
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.
