About Our Challenge
The Push-Up Challenge is back for February 2026 — and we’re turning up the energy with a friendly, Ice-Bucket-Challenge–inspired twist. Someone calls you out… you complete the reps… then YOU challenge the next person or group. Who will you tag?
From February 5 to 27, take on 2,000 push-ups, or mix in sit-ups, squats, or any movement you choose. Each day you’ll receive a mental health fact and a movement target tied to that insight. Track everything through the free app, which also makes fundraising easy.
Why 2,000 reps?
Each push-up represents one of the nearly 2,000 lives lost to suicide every day worldwide. Every movement is a reminder of why this challenge matters.
How it Works:
- REGISTER & TRACK – Sign up as an individual, group, or business team and log your progress on the free app.
- MOVE! – Push-ups, sit-ups, squats … anything counts. SNAP IT – Take a photo or video of how you’re pushing.
- POST & TAG – Share on Facebook, tag @CMHAHPE and #Push4Purpose.
- NOMINATE OTHERS – Tag 1–3 other individuals, teams, or businesses to keep the challenge going!
Don’t have Facebook? No problem!
Email your photo/video to [email protected] and we’ll share it for you.

En février, notre équipe participe au Défi push-up. Nous nous lançons le défi de faire une tonne de push-ups entre le 5 et le 27 février 2026 pour sensibiliser le public aux troubles de santé mentale au Canada.
Tous les dons sont versés à l’Association canadienne pour la santé mentale afin de soutenir le rétablissement des personnes ayant un trouble de santé mentale et d’améliorer les résultats en matière de santé mentale d’un océan à l’autre.
