Why I'm doing this.

As someone who chose the artist track, I have never really had the funds at my disposal to get the mental health help I no doubt need. I believe that needs to change. Those most vulnerable when it comes to mental health cannot afford the help they, and we, need.

So I will be completing 2,000 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health. I could also absolutely use the excuse to get stronger. Please support me as I push for better mental health from 5 to 27 February.

All proceeds help the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand build a future where mental health is treasured, protected, and prioritised.

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.
