Pushing forward
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 Association of New Zealand build a future where mental health is treasured, protected and prioritised.This challenge is personal.
Like many others, I’ve faced mental health struggles — the kind you don’t always talk about, the kind you carry quietly while still showing up for work, for family, for life. Some days are heavier than others, and sometimes just getting through the day is the real battle.
I’m doing 2,000 push-ups for everyone who feels stuck in their own head, exhausted, numb, overwhelmed, or fighting battles no one else can see. For those who feel judged, misunderstood, or told to “just toughen up.”
This isn’t about being perfect or pretending to be strong all the time. It’s about acknowledging the struggle and choosing to keep moving anyway — one push-up, one breath, one day at a time.
Mental health doesn’t discriminate, and it doesn’t mean weakness. It means you’re human.
If you’re struggling, you’re not alone.
If you’re fighting quietly, you’re seen.
If you’re still here — that matters more than you know.
💚 This is for us.
💪 This is for resilience.
🧠 This is for mental health.
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.
