About My Challenge

I suffered from depression in 2014. One day I made the decision that tomorrow I will wake up early, drink a glass of orange juice and go for a run. I gave myself the goal to run to the tree at the end of the street. Next day, it was the pole a little further down the road. The goal extended a little each day. 

By regularly setting and reaching attainable goals, I was able to drag myself out of depression and give myself the will to improve my life, to live again.

In June, I'm completing 3,249 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. 

You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to my page. I also encourage you to join in and do whatever you think you can achieve.

Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.

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.
