Why I'm Doing This:
Nine years ago, my little brother took his own life. I still miss him every day. He was funny, charming, the kind of guy who’d text you at 2am just to say "you good?" I never got to tell him how much that mattered.
So this February 5-27, I’m doing the Push-Up Challenge, aiming for 2300 push-ups in 23 days. 100 a day. Not because I love push-ups but because every rep reminds me - mental health isn’t something you fix once, it’s something you show up for.
This is for him. For anyone who’s ever felt too heavy to keep going. And honestly, for me too, because grief doesn’t vanish, it just gets quieter when you move.
If you can spare a few bucks, it will go straight to mental health programs that actually help people before they hit the edge. Even five dollars means someone gets heard.
Thanks for reading. If you’re struggling, reach out. You don’t have to do it alone.
Dedicated to my brother, always.
