push-ups completed
From Feb 1 to 23, 2024, over 49 thousand Canadians challenged themselves to complete 2,000 push-ups for the 20% of Canadians who will experience a mental illness each year.
The Push-Up Challenge participants had a bit of fun and improved their strength and fitness, and raised funds to help Canadians get the mental health support they urgently need.
The 2024 event ended on a high, with more than 40 million push-ups banked and over two million dollars raised for critical mental health services in Canada.

Your push-ups help people like Caroline
Caroline lost her dad to suicide, and at a particularly dark point, she tried to take her own life. Today, she is channelling her experience with mental health challenges to support others through her important work as a crisis line responder. For many people, though, they need care after the call.
“It’s more of a band-aid solution,” said Caroline.
“People need longer term support.”
That’s where CMHA comes in. CMHA delivers extensive community-based mental health programs and services, while pushing for nationwide system and social change.
Will you push for better long-term mental health outcomes for people like Caroline and her dad?
