About My Challenge
In February, I’m taking on the 2000 Push-Up Challenge to raise money for Samaritans and to help keep conversations around mental health visible, honest, and ongoing.
Mental health has touched my family deeply. We have experienced first-hand how fragile things can become, how frightening it is when someone you love is struggling, and how vital the right support can be. We are incredibly grateful for the care and help we’ve received and at the same time, we can clearly see how much improvement is still needed in mental health services and access to support.
I’m also taking part because I used to be a volunteer listener for Samaritans. Sitting with people in their darkest moments showed me just how essential this service is. Sometimes Samaritans are the only safe place someone feels able to turn. I’ve seen how powerful it can be to simply be heard, without judgement, without pressure and how life-saving that can be.
This challenge isn’t just about physical effort. It’s about showing up, day after day, for mental health. It’s about raising funds so Samaritans can continue to be there for people who feel they have nowhere else to go.
If you’re able to support, donate, or share, thank you.
And if you’re struggling yourself, you’re not alone, and help really does make a difference.

Supporting Samaritans
Samaritans is the charity that prevents suicide through the power of human connection. Connecting people in crisis with trained volunteers who will always listen. People calling for change with those who need to listen. People who’ve been there before, with those struggling now.
Samaritans make sure there’s always someone to listen if you’re in crisis or feeling suicidal. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
By donating, you're helping someone with suicidal thoughts get help when they need it most.
