The Push-Up Challenge

June 2024. The Push-Up Challenge is Australia’s largest mental health and fitness initiative, proudly run by The Push For Better Foundation, a health promotion charity registered with the ACNC. In 2023, participants were challenged to complete 3,144 push-ups over 23 days in June, putting the spotlight on the number of suicides in Australia in 2021. Each day, participants learn about mental health as they are challenged to complete a different number of push-ups that relates to a mental health statistic in Australia. Participants can aim for half of the push-up target and other exercise alternatives are welcome. The Push-Up Challenge is a unique way to engage your organisation in mental health by: • Learning about mental health: A different mental health statistic is shared each day; • Connection: Encourages team participation using our push-up tracker (phone app); • Promoting fitness: Push-ups can be done anywhere and anytime; • Make a difference: Opportunity to raise funds for mental health The event was founded by Perth engineer Nick Hudson, and in just five years has grown from 4 mates to 215,000 people across Australia, pushing for better mental health. Participants came from across all of Australia, from all walks of life, ranging from school children to a 91-year-old great grandmother. We look forward to having your organisation involved.
