Push up push up!
Kia Ora awesome people,
you must be wondering what this is all about…
Firstly, a little bit about 25 push-up for 25 days challenge.
This is floating around social media, so I thought we might as well set up a page to raise money for the cause as well as raise awareness. Certainly during testing times like this with the lockdown and COVID-19 it brings focus to our wellbeing. Mental health is big part of that.
As these challenges go viral across the internet, lets show support by doing push ups and challenging friends to stay active during the lockdown. Doing so is a reminder to them that it is ok to talk to us about shit that isn't usually spoken about.
We have decided to participate in 25 push-ups for 25 days challenge to help support the work of the Mental Health Foundation.
This will be a challenge for us - but every day can be a challenge for people who may not have the resources they need to maintain a positive well-being and function well in their everyday lives.
Now the important stuff, the why:
Nearly 50% of New Zealanders will experience a mental health problem in their lifetime, and I don’t want them to face it on their own. Your donation will help the Mental Health Foundation of Aotearoa provide people, workplaces, schools and communities with the tools they need to build positive mental health and well-being.
We want to raise as much as we can, so please donate today!
Every little bit counts!
Thank you in advance,
People in lockdown doing push-ups
MAURI TU, MAURI ORA.
*Anyone doing the challenge, feel free to use this page/share link on your push up video posts, set up your own, or join team (i couldn't get this working)... whatever, it's all for the same cause.
Social Media Text:
We will be conducting 25 push-ups for 25 days to help raise awareness for things such as PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), anxiety and depression that drive people to commit suicide.
The rules are simple:
*Once you are nominated your 25 days starts the following day.
*Everyday you record yourself doing 25 push-ups even if you have to drop to your knees to get 25
*Every day you must nominate a different person.

Well done for starting this. I think that the challange really is meaningless unless it actually promotes an organisation like Mental Health Foundation. Otherwise we all did pushups for nothing.

Hi there. This is Rev Pulepule. I’m am disappointed to see many people misinterpreted the purpose of doing push ups without donating any funds. Push ups is going wild and people use is to challenging others. Please reply to my question. Is PTSD part of MHO NZ? Thanks
