How you can make a difference by joining Push-Up Challenge
- Founder Nick Hudson and his friends created The Push-Up Challenge to raise mental health awareness and funds in Australia by 2025.
- The challenge pays tribute to the 3,214 people lost to suicide across Australia in 2023 and seeks to break down stigma through promoting fitness and mental health education.
- In 2024, more than 218,000 individuals took part in a push-up challenge, collectively performing upwards of 317 million push-ups and generating over $12 million in support of organizations like Lifeline, Headspace, and the Push for Better Foundation.
- Research conducted by the University of Melbourne revealed that participating in the event led to notable decreases in depression and anxiety symptoms both during the challenge and for three months afterward, with affected individuals being more inclined to seek assistance.
- The 2025 challenge runs June 4–26 with a 3,214 push-up target over 23 days, connecting communities and continuing fundraising efforts nationwide.
