Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Lockdown 2.0. Another opportunity to raise some money for a great cause. 

According to the ONS [1], in 2019, there were 5,691 deaths caused by suicide in England and Wales. This is absolutely devastating. 2020 has been a pretty terrible year and has had a profound effect on many peoples mental health. I have decided to attempt 1 push-up for every life lost to suicide in 2019. I will be completing this challenge over 30 days, starting on the 5th November 2020. This will equate to approx. 190 push-ups a day.

Mind is a fantastic charity, which provides advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. They campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding of mental health issues.  They don’t give up on anyone. Please support me - and this charity if you can!

Video updates will be on my Instagram @willlgarner
