Today's target is 167 push-ups, acknowledging the 16.7% (or 1 in 6) Australians aged 16–85 who have experienced suicidal thoughts or behaviours at some point in their lives. It's a confronting statistic, but an important reminder that many people are fighting battles we can't see.

Starting Wednesday, I'll be taking on 3,307 push-ups in 24 days as part of The Push-Up Challenge 💪

The number isn't random. It represents the 3,307 Australians who lost their lives to su***de in 2024.

This challenge is about more than just push-ups. It's about raising awareness for mental health, encouraging conversations, checking in on those around us, and challenging ourselves both physically and mentally.

There will no doubt be some sore arms and a few tough days along the way, but it's a cause worth getting behind.
