The Challenge
You and your sports club will be challenged to complete 2,000 push-ups over 23 days in February as we put a spotlight on the 20% of Canadians who experience mental illness each year.
We know - that's a lot of push-ups. But don't sweat, alternative exercises are welcome (think sit-ups, squats or jumping jacks), plus you can aim for a portion of the push-up target instead.
