Ridiculous Good Push-Ups for a Purpose

This May, I’m taking on a personal challenge inspired by something much bigger than myself—raising funds for YouthCARE, an organisation that supports the wellbeing of students, families, and school communities across 600 schools.  Thousands of young lives impacted every single day. An organisation I have been working for for the past 14 years.

So here’s the challenge: push-ups every day in May, building strength not just physically, but in purpose. The number 600 will be my goal for the month of May.

YouthCARE’s work is grounded in presence, care, and connection—supporting chaplaincy and wellbeing services where they’re needed most. It’s quiet, consistent, and incredibly powerful.

This challenge might seem small, even a little ridiculous. But sometimes the most “ridiculous” ideas are the ones that spark something good—conversations, awareness, generosity, and change.

If you’ve ever thought about doing something meaningful but weren’t sure where to start, maybe this is your nudge. Join in, donate, share, or simply cheer from the sidelines.

Because 600 schools is worth showing up for—one push-up at a time.
