Hi everyone,

We’re putting together our first team for the 2026 Push-Up Challenge this June, and we would love for you to be part of it.

This is more than just a fitness challenge. It’s a nationwide movement raising awareness for mental health, with thousands of people across Australia taking part. Over 24 days (3–26 June), you will work towards a goal of up to 3,307 push-ups—a powerful number that represents lives lost to suicide and a reminder of why this cause matters.

💪 Why join?

• No pressure, no judgement – all fitness levels welcome
• Flexible participation – do the full (3,307), half (1,654), or swap exercises (squats, sit-ups, etc.)
• Stay motivated – track progress easily by downloading the app
• Learn along the way – daily mental health insights you’ll actually remember
• Team spirit – we’ll keep things fun with a friendly competition (and bragging rights!)

Whether you're looking to build a healthy habit, try something new, or just be part of something meaningful, this is an easy way to get involved.

Even better? You don’t have to be a fitness enthusiast—just willing to give it a go.

If you're unable to participate or short on time, you can still support the cause by making a donation. We’ve nominated Lifeline as our preferred organisation, so any contributions will go directly towards their vital mental health support services.

Best regards,

Sabrina
