About My Challenge

I'm completing 2,000 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health. Please support me as I #pushforbetter from Feb 5-27, 2026.

Mental health is a daily struggle for many. I have personally experienced it for many years and have witnessed friends and family struggle, resulting in unfortunate outcomes. A colleague posted this challenge and asked if anyone would like to join her. Initially, I mistook it for a cancer challenge, as I am involved in many initiatives under that umbrella. I am hesitant to attempt even one push-up these days. However, when I realized it was for mental health and the colleague had lost someone to suicide, I was compelled to participate. While I may find it difficult to complete anywhere from 40 to 180 push-ups daily within this timeframe, this initiative is not about me; it is about raising awareness and providing support for mental health. BetterTogether, I hope we take time to help heal ourselves, support others to heal, and make safe environments to discuss without fear.
