About Manan's Challenge

Hey Friend,

I’m taking on the grueling challenge to complete 2,000 push-ups in 18 days (that’s 111 daily) from February 11–28 to raise funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA).

Why? Because mental health is just as vital as physical strength—and together, we can #PushForBetter.

Your Support Matters:
Every donation fuels CMHA’s mission to support mental illness recovery and foster resilience nationwide. Here’s how CMHA makes an impact:

  • 🧠 Nationwide Reach: As Canada’s oldest mental health charity, CMHA operates in over 330 communities, offering crisis support, counseling, and programs that save lives.

  • 🌱 Prevention & Education: They empower Canadians with tools to combat stigma, build coping skills, and promote mental wellness through workshops and resources.

  • 🤝 Advocacy for Change: CMHA drives policy reforms to improve access to care, ensuring no one faces mental health challenges alone.

  • 💙 Crisis Support: From youth programs to suicide prevention, CMHA meets critical needs with compassion.

Mental Health Affects Us All:
1 in 5 Canadians experiences mental illness annually. Your contribution directly helps CMHA provide life-changing services—like counseling for someone in crisis or workshops that empower teens.

How You Can Help:

  • 💌 Donate: Even $25 can make a difference.

  • 📣 Share: Spread the word using #PushForBetter and tag friends!

  • 💪 Cheer Me On: Follow my daily journey as my push-up count increases - your encouragement keeps me pushing!

Together, we’ll prove that strength isn’t just physical. Let’s lift each other up, one push-up at a time.

Thank you for supporting mental health resilience in Canada!

Dedicated to: those who struggle, and have struggled, with mental illness—people who deserve to be named but remain unnamed, silenced by the weight of stigma.
