About Our Challenge
In February, our Community is 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 Community.
Supporting Mental Health Foundation
Funds raised will invested by the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand [The MHF] in three core areas of mahi:
- Promoting everyday actions that lift mental wellbeing
- Providing tools that support people through tough times
- Advocating for a better mental health system and society
With your tautoko/support, we can build a fairer, more connected Aotearoa where everyone’s mental health is valued and protected.
Whāia te hauora hinengaro kia puāwai ai te hauora tangata - there is no health without mental health.

Every great wave starts with a single drop. Just assmall donation might feel like a minor gesture, but it's impact stretches far. You're fueling the ripple effect of support, awareness and healing. Just like our daily push ups, these small acts of kindness add up to create a massive shift. LET PROVE THAT WHEN YOU GIVE A LITTLE, WE CAN CHANGE ALOT
