The Push Up Challenge 2026
Lifeline Tasmania is inviting individuals, schools, workplaces and community groups to take part in The Push-Up Challenge 2026.
Over 24 days, participants complete 3,307 push-ups. Each push-up represents a life lost to suicide in Australia in 2024. The challenge uses this number to raise awareness of mental health and support services while raising funds for Lifeline Tasmania's critical, life-saving work.
Anyone can take part, and the challenge can be modified to suit different abilities, including reduced targets or alternative movement.
