I’m 3 days in to a push-up challenge to raise money for mental health.  I’d love as many peoples support in fund raising. Even tiny amounts make a big difference. To find out more here is a link to the site and my page. www.thepushupchallenge.com.au/pushuperer/34891Here is a dumb video of me finishing the last 20 of 214 push ups yesterday. youtu.be/SX5j9Tc9fbA |

What's the significance of the 3128 push-ups?
My wife would walk the "AVON 39" breast cancer walk, which was 26 miles day one (Marathon) and 13 (1/2 marathon) the next...for a total of 39..funny she didn't but 2+2 together in the beginning when I asked what the 39 meant...or should I say 26+13....

What's the significance of the 3128 push-ups? 3,128 push-ups in total, representing the number of lives lost in Australia due to mental health issues in 2017. |

Big Thank you to the guys who have donated.
I’ll keep posting how it’s going.
Great challenge if anyone’s interested.
Each day you lean a fact about mental health based on the number of push ups you do.
For example 213 push ups was a goal on Wednesday which related to the maximum recommend sugar intake (calories) per person per day as there is a link between high sugar diets and depression.

I don't think I could do 213 push-ups in a day... I'd have to stop doing what I do 213 times!

Great effort Cam. Are they having a big push to address mental health in Oz too? It's becoming much more accepted as an issue here.

I am not a participant, but I thought I'd have a crack at playing along with the challenge (albeit starting a few days late). I managed the first days target, but stepping up to the second day was a real challenge (I haven't done any pushups for six months). Kudos to you Cam.

tritto glad you gave it a crack. It hurts. I tapped out at about 180 yesterday so have to do 200 today to catch up. There are muscles I don’t know the name of that I didn’t know existed. I now curse when I move them. They connect to my shoulder blades and stretch (or not) down my back.
