Karen Heeringa

Two of my passions come together!

Two things dear to my heart come together in a challenge...physical fitness and mental health. I am completing 2,000 push-ups in 18 days to "push for better" awareness about mental health and suicide and to raise funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association. I would love it if you would join me!

You don’t have to be a push-up pro to participate. You can substitute push-ups with sit-ups, squats or other exercises. You can also choose to aim for 50% of the push-up target and smash out 1,000 push-ups instead of 2,000. Tracking your progress on the dedicated app could be fun.

You can also join me by donating through my page. My goal of $2,000 and the 2,000 push-ups represent the 2,000 lives lost to suicide each day worldwide. 

Please help me to raise awareness and "push for better" mental health support by challenging your friends and family to join you. They can donate through my page or go to The Push-Up Challenge

 

Thank you for supporting me as I #pushforbetter from February 11-28. All proceeds help the Canadian Mental Health Association to support mental illness recovery and foster positive mental health in Canada.
