Lifeline Loddon Mallee is calling on locals to join the push for better mental health this June by taking part in The Push-Up Challenge, Australia’s largest mental health and fitness event.
This year, Lifeline Loddon Mallee is excited to welcome ambassadors including Jed Zimmer and Luke Baker, both passionate advocates for men’s mental health and suicide prevention, and the team from Bendigo Spirit, who are ready to inspire the region throughout the Challenge.
Lifeline Loddon Mallee is encouraging individuals, workplaces, gyms, clubs and schools across the region to get involved and join Team Lifeline Loddon Mallee.
From 4 to 26 June, participants will aim to complete 3,214 push-ups over 23 days, representing the 3,214 lives lost to suicide in Australia in 2023.
The Challenge is designed to raise awareness and start conversations around mental health, while encouraging connection, movement, and education.
Last year, more than 218,000 people completed over 317 million push-ups, raising over $12 million for mental health services, with more than $50 million raised since the event began.
The Push-Up Challenge is free to join.
