45% of Australians will experience a mental health issue at some point in their lifetime. These issues are not limited to young Australians though. You may have had your own personal experience with mental ill health or might have known someone going through a tough time at some point.
I encourage you to get behind an important cause that affects almost every second Australian. Around 75% of mental illnesses occur for the first time before a person turns 25. By supporting The Push-Up Challenge, you're supporting an organisation that addresses the unique barriers young people face to accessing mental health support.
This month I am participating in raising awareness and money for Mental Health and completing the push up challenge. 3,128 push-ups for 3,128 lives lost to suicide. The Push-Up Challenge started in 2018 and aims to raise awareness of mental health in Australia.
This year, The Push-Up Challenge highlights the devastating number of Australian lives lost to suicide in 2017. 3,128 push-ups for 3,128 lives lost to suicide. The goal is to help reduce the number of Australian lives being lost to suicide by increasing awareness of mental ill health in the community and raising funds for head space.

The struggle is real ...
