Why I’m Pushing for Better

Hi, I’m Mackenzie 🤍

I’m completing 2,000 push-ups in 23 days this February as part of the Push-Up Challenge in support of mental health and the Canadian Mental Health Association. I’m taking on this challenge through Kicks For Strength, an initiative I started in honour of my cousin Cameron.

Mental health awareness and suicide prevention are incredibly close to my heart, and this challenge is one small but meaningful way I try to keep the conversation going and support others who may be struggling.

I’m doing my push-ups in honour of Cameron, and for anyone who has been impacted by mental health challenges, whether personally or through someone they love.

If you’re able to support or join me in this challenge, I’d be so grateful. Every push-up, share, and donation helps support mental illness recovery and positive mental health across Canada. 🤍
