About My Challenge

I'm completing 2,000 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health. Why? Because we are all mental in our own beautiful way and all go through shit in our lives, this impacts everyone differently, life experiences can creep up on anyone out of nowhere, from my experience in the past 6 months it was mental health workers that i felt safe reaching out to without feeling guilt and shame from my family and friends, when your in a dark place for a long period of time, you eventually feel like a burden constantly reaching out to your loved ones when it's messy.. so it was the call centers that really helped me personally when things were bad for me, I can confidently say if not for them I would not of reached out to anyone when I was going through intense suicidal ideation. So, 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.
