About Our Challenge….And Believe Me, It Will Be A Challenge!
Kia ora friends and whānau!
This February, our team is taking on The Push-Up Challenge! We’re aiming to smash 2,000 push-ups between 5–27 February 2026 to support better mental health across New Zealand.
I’ll be struggling through every single rep, probably negotiating with gravity and questioning my life choices. Paul, meanwhile, will be smashing them out and adding them to Strava like a machine. Typical. 😅
If you’d like to help us push for change, you can join the challenge or chip in a donation — even if it’s just the price of a couple of coffees, a beer and a pie, or whatever treat you fancy. Every little bit counts and helps make a huge difference!
All funds go straight to The Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand, helping create a future where mental health is valued, protected, and prioritised.
Thanks heaps for helping us push for better mental health — every push counts! 💪💛
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.
