About My Challenge

From February 5–27, I’m completing 2,000 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association East Central Region. Please support me as I #pushforbetter.

Mental health is deeply personal to me. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety, and my family has also been profoundly affected, we lost my stepfather to suicide. These experiences remind me how vital support, awareness, and accessible services truly are.

I did The Push-Up Challenge last year, and it surprised me in the best way. The daily movement supported my mental health, kept me grounded, and connected me to a community of people dedicated to making things better.

This year, I’m pushing again! For myself, for my loved ones, and for everyone impacted by mental illness. All proceeds support the Canadian Mental Health Association East Central Region in their work to foster recovery and positive mental health across Canada.

Thank you for standing with me as I #pushforbetter.
