About My Challenge
Ahoy! I am currently completing 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 last completed this challenge in 2020. Since then, I've had a number of people close to me lose their life due to mental health battles and am certain in every case that better mental health resources would have made a difference in their struggle. I've also had to navigate mental health services myself and am very confident this country can do much better. You can donate right here on this page!
Funds raised will go to headspace National to support much needed mental health services and initiatives. If you can give any amount to my cause, it would be massively appreciated!!
Dedicated to: To those I love who lost the battle
Supporting headspace National
headspace is Australia’s National Youth Mental Health Foundation, providing early intervention mental health services to 12-25 year olds.
Each year, headspace helps thousands of young people access vital support through our headspace centres in over 157 communities across Australia, our online and phone counselling services, our vocational services, and our presence in schools.
The support headspace receives from the community helps us achieve our vision - that all young Australians are supported to be mentally healthy and engaged in their communities.
