About My Challenge

Hi friends,

I started my fitness journey last year thinking it was just about getting stronger… turns out it’s also been amazing for my mental health. I floated this to a group of friends and the response was huge, so I set up a team and we're all in this together (Band of Brothers, OPP Division - Original Push-up Posse). 

So from February 5–27, I’m taking on a challenge: 2,000 push-ups in 23 days in support of the Canadian Mental Health Association.

Mental health matters to all of us, and while we’re having some fun with this challenge, the cause is serious. Around the world, roughly 2,000 lives are lost to suicide every day, which is why awareness, support, and community are so important.

All funds raised go toward helping the Canadian Mental Health Association support mental illness recovery and promote positive mental health across Canada.

If you can, support, donate, or cheer me on and help me #PushForBetter 💙

Every push-up counts… and yes, my arms are already feeling it 😆

Dedicated to: This is for you and whatever quiet struggles you endure. Cheers to you!
