The Push Up Challenge 2023

In a world where challenges seem to be never-ending, it's essential to remember that our greatest strength lies in unity and compassion. Mental health is an issue that affects countless lives, and its impact cannot be underestimated. Unfortunately, the devastating statistic of 3,144 lives lost to suicide in Australia during 2021 serves as a stark reminder of the urgency to address this silent battle. However, amidst the darkness, there is hope—The Push For Better Foundation and Brooke's Blooms are joining forces to make a difference. Together, we can raise awareness, provide support, and cultivate a community that fosters mental well-being. Let's explore how we can contribute to this vital cause.


At the heart of the Push For Better Foundation lies a powerful initiative—the Push-Up Challenge. This challenge calls on individuals like you and me to complete 3,144 push-ups, symbolizing each life lost to suicide in Australia last year. While this number may appear daunting, it's a tangible way for us to honour those who are no longer with us and raise awareness about mental health. By participating in the challenge, we demonstrate our commitment to push for better mental health support and show solidarity with those who are struggling.


At Brooke's Blooms, our passion extends beyond the beauty of flowers. We believe in the transformative power of nature and its profound effect on mental well-being. Flowers remind us of the delicate balance between growth and resilience, and they symbolize the potential for beauty to emerge from even the most challenging circumstances. That's why we are proud to support The Push For Better Foundation and their efforts to improve mental health.


Every journey towards positive change begins with a single step, and your contribution can be invaluable in pushing for better mental health. Here are a few ways you can get involved:

Donate: By making a financial contribution to The Push For Better Foundation, you help support mental health programs, initiatives, and research. Your generosity will pave the way for improved access to mental health resources and positively impact countless lives.

Participate in the Push-Up Challenge: Embark on this physical challenge to honour those we have lost and raise awareness about mental health. Push yourself to complete 3,144 push-ups over a designated period, sharing your progress with others and inspiring them to take part as well.

Spread the Word: Awareness is a catalyst for change. Utilize your social media platforms, workplace, and personal networks to raise awareness about the importance of mental health. Share information about The Push For Better Foundation and encourage others to join the cause.

Practice Self-Care: Prioritize your mental well-being and encourage others to do the same. Engage in activities that promote self-care, such as exercise, meditation, spending time in nature, or seeking professional help when needed. By taking care of yourself, you become better equipped to support those around you.


The Push For Better Foundation and Brooke's Blooms share a common goal: to create a society where mental health is prioritized, understood, and supported. By taking part in the Push-Up Challenge, donating, and spreading awareness, we contribute to a collective effort that can save lives and bring hope to those who need it most.

Remember, it is through small, meaningful actions that we can make a significant impact. Together, let's push for better mental health support and sow the seeds of change, creating a world where every individual can bloom and thrive.
