It’s a complex challenge – for ourselves, our loved ones and, most of all, for the nine Australians who die by suicide every day.  Commit to 3,139 push-ups across 24 days in June to represent the number of Australians who took their own lives in 2020 and shine a spotlight on mental health.  Sounds like too many push-ups? All levels of fitness are welcome, and each member of your team can aim for 25%, 50%,75% or 100% of the push-up target. And, if you’re not keen on push-ups, exercise alternatives (sit-ups, squats or tailored exercises) are also welcome.  **To get involved:**  1. Go to the Monadelphous Push-Up Community page. [https://www.thepushupchallenge.com.au/fundraiser/Monadelphous](https://www.thepushupchallenge.com.au/fundraiser/Monadelphous)  1. Join an existing team or create your own team of up to 10 people within our community.  1. Spread the word and get others involved.   1. Start prepping yourself.  1. 1 to 24 June: Get pushin’.  1. Keep track of your push-ups through the phone app or website and get virtual badges and trophies for yourself and your team throughout the challenge.  **Want more information?**  There are also some handy resources, tips and mental health facts that can be used to support discussions at pre-start, toolbox and/or team meetings, which can be found under the ‘Get Pushin’ heading on [The Push-Up Challenge](https://www.thepushupchallenge.com.au/) webpage.    If you require further information, please visit the challenge [FAQs](https://www.thepushupchallenge.com.au/faqs) or contact [@Health and Wellbeing Program](mailto:healthandwellbeing@monadel.com.au).  Let’s get pushin’!  **![Join us for the Push-Up Challenge](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Join%20us%20for%20the%20Push-Up%20Challenge.png?width=500&height=282&name=Join%20us%20for%20the%20Push-Up%20Challenge.png)** ## Leave a comment Previous Post A West Angelas story Next Post A message from Lorna Rechichi, May '22 ## Recommended For You [![](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/hubfs/On%20the%20Hook%20blog%20images9.jpg)](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/on-the-hook/dabakarn-koorts-heals-empowering-mental-health-support) [HSE](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/on-the-hook/tag/hse) 1 Min Read ### [Dabakarn Koorts Heals: empowering mental health support](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/on-the-hook/dabakarn-koorts-heals-empowering-mental-health-support) In an initiative to champion mental health and well-being, Monadelphous has teamed up with local Indigenous ...
