About My Challenge
Hey Everyone!!
This year I will be challenging myself and partaking in the Push-Up challenge!
In 2022 , 3,249 Australians lost their lives to suicide, so this year’s challenge is to complete 3,249 push-ups(or alternate exercises) from the 5th-28th of June to help raise awareness around mental health and reduce the stigma around mental illness!
So many of us know someone that has been effected by suicide or knows of someone that has struggled with mental health.
This year’s challenge really inspired me to want to get involved more than ever after having lost loved ones and nearly loosing another just recently to the to the mental health battle. It all starts with a conversation, its time to check in on our family, friends and work colleagues, by doing this we can start to break the stigma where seeking help is seen as a strength!
This year I will be raising money for Lifeline, every 30 seconds a person in Australia reaches out to Lifeline for help. For 60 years, Lifeline has been connecting with Australians in need through crisis support and suicide prevention services.
I would love your support as every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.
I am looking forward to the Challenge!!
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.
