Help headspace Onkaparinga push for better this Push Up Challenge

     June 3 - 26, 3,707 Push Ups. 

Sign up to do 3,307 push ups over 24 days this June (or choose a half amount of 1,654), and get active to support headspace Onkaparinga!

Why 3,307? 3,307 lives were lost to suicide in Australia in 2024, the latest year of data. Acknowledging the impact of suicide in our communities is extremely important in destigmatising mental health conditions. 

There are daily targets, each one aligning with a mental health statistic. They increase as you get into the challenge, and there are some catch up days included.

Why should I participate?

Creating conversation around mental health and fundraising for your local headspace centre while completing a challenge? It's a win on all fronts. 

You can sign up as an individual, with a group of friends, with your workplace… so many options!

 Do I have to do push ups?

 No way! You can alternate exercises and make things work for you. Our team is using things like pilates moves, squats, dance steps and star jumps to complete the challenge.

How does headspace Onkaparinga benefit from Push Up Challenge?

We benefit both from fundraising and a more mental health aware community. We’ve been able to create an amazing mural, host Southern Suburbs Cinema Club sessions so 12-25s can see movies on us, buy a watercooler for our waiting room and some other cool things. Our Community Engagement Officer Ainsley made a video on how we’ve been able to do some cool stuff in centre. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DX-ie5WTxzC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
