Day 5 of Push Up Challenge was a day of rest, BUT it was Sunday, and a beautiful day, so I’ve banked some for future days.

One of the things I love about the challenge is that those who support it are doing exactly the things that are important for physical and mental health! Physical exercise, being outdoors, creating meaning and purpose, and creating and maintaining social connections.

Thank you to those who have generously donated to this important cause. If not, there’s still time! Link below.

I’d love your support 💛💛💛💛💛

Day 4 of The Pushup Challenge and today’s target is 150 push-ups. I stopped at the end of my bike ride this morning for a quick 10 pushups against the beautiful backdrop of the Canning River. 🤩

Did you know that 1.5 million Australians live with a mood disorder, such as major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder? Early and accessible support can make a significant difference to the duration and severity of these conditions, and aid early recovery.

Day 2 of the Push-Up Challenge, and this is me kicking off Day 2 with 10 pushups at 5.30 this morning at the start of my bike ride.

Did you know that the rate of diagnosed depression is greater in females than males, but the su***de rate for males is much higher than for females.

We know that men are less likely to seek help for declining mental health. We also know that early intervention results in much improved outcomes.

This is one of the reasons why I am a ride leader and committee member with Knights of Suburbia, a cycling community that is strongly focused towards improving physical and mental health through cycling, coffee and connection.

The Push-Up Challenge creates an opportunity for us to start important conversations about mental health - conversations that may prompt someone who needs support to ask for it.

Please support me and the important work that is enabled by the Push for better Foundation. Thank you to those who have already donated. For those who can support, the donation link is below 💙🙏🏼

Day 1 of the Push Up Challenge and I’m 100 pushups in, despite a head cold.

Between 3 and 26 June, I and a small but dedicated team will each be completing 3307 Push ups as part of the Push-Up Challenge. Every push up is in acknowledgment of a life lost to su***de in Australia last year. Please give generously to help change this alarming statistic. Thank you 🌻

This week, I had the great pleasure of being part of the TEDxPerth team bringing the ‘Ideas for Living’ Salon event to the stage hosted in beautiful Moana Hall.

This was my first TEDxPerth event as Head of Curation, and I had the great pleasure of working alongside Creative Director and TEDxPerth licensee Nathan Maddigan to bring this production together.

The amazing speakers Tara Kozah, Natalie McGrath, Michael Pignéguy and Cassie Power and James Norton were carefully selected for their contribution to the theme of Ideas for Living, hoping to offer alternative perspectives and ideas on how we approach life.

You may know that my son Ben Rainford and I have been attending TEDxPerth events together for many years, so it’s always been close to my heart.

I hope to see you at one of our events soon!
Please follow us at TEDxPerth for many more great events. ❤️

Dear friends!

I’m hoping you will be willing to support me and my team in the The Push-Up Challenge - Australia this June.

You may be aware that sadly, 3307 people died by su***de in Australia in 2024. I’m personally committed and dedicated to helping to change this statistic. I’m raising funds to support organisations making a difference in this important area - providing support, education and programs to those in distress.

In June, I and a team of dedicated supporters will be taking part in The Push-Up Challenge, completing 3307 Push-Ups between 3 and 26 June (126 per day).

I’d love for you to join me, or if you’d prefer, I’d love it if you would offer support by making a tax-deductible donation. Follow the link below.
