The More Music Breakfast Show\u2019s <\/em>Mike Perso is taking on the Push-Up Challenge <\/a>for the third year in June, putting the spotlight on the tragic number of lives lost to suicide in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike will need to complete a whopping 3,139 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for non-profit organisation Lifeline<\/a> and Movember<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thousands of Australians from all ages and walks of life participate in the free event which engages people in mental health through connection, physical activity and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder of The Push-Up Challenge, Nick Hudson, said, \u201cIt\u2019s likely we\u2019ll all experience a mental health issue at some point in our lives. It\u2019s our hope this year\u2019s Challenge will spark conversations about mental health in a fun and engaging way. We want to break down the stigma attached to mental health issues so that Australians don\u2019t think twice about reaching out for help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Push-Up Challenge participants can choose to fundraise and support one of two leading mental health organisations, Lifeline and Movember, or the charity which runs the event, The Push for Better Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
