I'm raising money for charity. A charity close to my heart, and one I think deserves a whole lot more attention.
But it's a proper challenge and I'll have to work for it and earn your support!
...it's locked in, so there's no turning back now.
From 3–26 February 2027, I'm taking part in The Push-Up Challenge to raise money for the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand.
The challenge? Complete 2,000 push-ups in 24 days.
That's a lot of push-ups. My arms are already questioning my decision.
But there's a much bigger reason behind it.
Each push-up represents one of the approximately 2,000 lives lost to suicide every day worldwide. It's a confronting statistic, and a reminder of just how important mental health awareness, suicide prevention and access to support really are.
I want to help raise awareness, highlight the importance of looking after our mental health and support the work being done to help people across Aotearoa New Zealand.
Help me raise money for mental health in New Zealand
I'm fundraising for the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand, an organisation that works to improve mental health and wellbeing across the country.
The money raised through The Push-Up Challenge helps fund the Foundation's work, including mental health resources, wellbeing campaigns, suicide prevention information and advocacy for better mental health outcomes.
If you'd like to support the cause, you can donate directly to my fundraising page below.
Every donation, big or small, makes a difference and helps support better mental health in New Zealand.
You can follow along with the challenge on my Instagram throughout February as I share my progress.
Between now and then, I'd really appreciate your support. If donating isn't an option, please sharing this page with someone else is another great way to help.
Thanks for getting behind it. Now, I'd better start training!
