Each February, our English-speaking community takes part in The Push-Up Challenge—a powerful initiative to raise awareness of mental illness in Canada. We’re challenging ourselves to complete 2,000 push-ups between February 11–28.
Why 2,000? Because that number represents the 20% of Canadians who will experience a mental illness each year.
Join Our Team!
Each day of the Challenge, we’ll aim for a different daily push-up target that connects to an important Mental Health Fact. These daily goals add up to 2,000 push-ups overall. You can track your progress and learn along the way using the free app.
Not a push-up pro? No problem! You can:
- Substitute with sit-ups, squats, or other exercises
- Aim for 50% of the target and complete 1,000 push-ups
