Pushing up yet again...
I'm completing 2,000 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health. This time, I'm doing it with my beautiful friends from home in Aotearoa. Everyone deserves access to mental health support, especially those most vulnerable in our communities.
I've done the push up challenge before with my brothers and sisters in the Australian hardcore. I found it challenging both physically and emotionally: pushing my body to new strengths but also allowing myself to hold grief for the friends I have lost along the way.
Doing the push up challenge with my friends from the nzhc scene is very important to me, these are the people who supported and loved me at my lowest points. The community and longstanding friendships I have because of the people in my team give my life a rich joy, it's an honour to grow alongside them.
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. When I was younger, the support of the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand saved my life. Help me carry on that legacy so it can save other people too.

Supporting Mental Health Foundation
Funds raised will invested by the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand [The MHF] in three core areas of mahi:

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.
