The 2000 Push Up Challenge resonates with us, the struggles that life throws at each and every one of us.
In February, our Team (Shanyn and I) are taking part in The Push-Up Challenge. We are challenging ourselves to complete 2,000 push-ups between 5-27 February, 2026 to push for better mental health outcomes in Aotearoa New Zealand.
You can help us push for better mental health in Aotearoa by joining us or donating to our Team.
Everyone has struggles at some stage. Their struggles can be at different levels of intensity and occur at different times of their life. Some people can navigate through their struggles and push past it. Some hide their struggles extremely well. Some walk around with their struggles on their shoulders. Despite how the person unpacks their struggles, it would be a perfect world if we all saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Well some people don't and it's that dark lonely tunnel that they don't want others to see. Hiding behind the stigma of mental health just isn't healthy and that's why we want to raise money for better mental health support.
This challenge will definitely push us out of our comfort zone just like those who want help but can't push past their comfort zone to reach out for support.
Please donate and support my daughter Shanyn and I in our challenge ❤️
