I'm completing 2,000 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health. Please support me as I push for better mental health from 5-27 February. All proceeds help the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand build a future where mental health is treasured, protected and prioritised.
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.

I’ve waited until now to check you actually did it. But no way of telling. So, I trust you, and it’s a good cause! Well done to you and Alison for taking this on.
