About My Challenge

I’m completing 2,000 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association. Please consider supporting me as I #PushForBetter from February 5–27.

This challenge is very close to my heart. In 2025, I lost not one but two friends, both under the age of 30.

Junior Moaku (30) dedicated his life to mental health awareness and education. He was the founder of Save Me Save We, an organization focused on supporting individuals and communities through advocacy and care.

Steve Belinga (27) passed away unexpectedly after struggling with mental illness in the year leading up to his death, which was ultimately caused by a brain aneurysm.

 

I’m taking on this challenge in their honour, and to help ensure others have access to the mental health support they deserve. Thank you for your generosity and support.

Dedicated to: Steve Belinga & Junior Moaku
