Needing to help make a change
This will be my fifth year in taking part in the PUC. In 2013 my family suffered a tragedy that unfortunately too many others are also experiencing. We had someone close to use take their own life.
The Push Up Challenge is a way for me to directly influence the community in opening up about mental health, it's importance and to understand that from time to time, everyone needs a little help and there is no harm or shame in asking for it,
The PUC combines an active lifestyle with mindfulness to help raise awareness for much needed funds which continue to support critical organisations that offer that friendly un-biased and non-judgmental ear that we sometimes need in our lives

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.

Great work, Joe. Mental health is something we all need support with at times and it's a great cause to get behind!
