Push for Prostate Cancer 2026

My Pushup Progress

My Progress

9,216 pushups

My Target

9,000 pushups

My blue september is dedicated to my family and friends affected.

I'm doing push-ups this Blue September. Show your support, let's tackle prostate cancer together.

This September I've set myself a fundraising challenge to help bring down prostate cancer and support our mates.

Here's the gameplan:

I smash out heaps of push-ups throughout the month to inspire you to dig deep towards life-saving research and support.

Let's tackle prostate cancer together. Donate now. Because prostate cancer is killing people in our community. It's the most diagnosed cancer for blokes in NZ.

Your support helps provide research into treating and diagnosing prostate cancer, along with support for people affected by a diagnosis. Plus you'll be helping raise awareness so more blokes know to get tested when they need to.

Donate now.

Thank you all so much!

Thursday 1st Oct

Blue September challenge done for another year, thanks for all the support and donations to help fight prostate cancer.

Managed to get at least 300 push-ups every day this month, ended up on 9,216 banking a few more thanks to unplanned extras at training with #fourdragons.

I'm gonna be honest, stoked to not do any push-ups this morning, and probably for the next couple of weeks, at not voluntarily 😅

Past the half way mark!

Tuesday 15th Sep

15 days done, 4,606 push-ups smashed. Feeling it, some days are tougher than others (following upper body weights days or hard martial arts sessions), but still manageable.

A third of the way there

Thursday 10th Sep

Crossed the 10 day mark, slightly ahead of the game with 3,106 push-ups completed. Only another 20 days and 6,000-ish push-ups to go 😅

One week down

Monday 7th Sep

7 days, 2,121 completed, everything is holding up ok so far 👉🪵

Thanks again everyone for the support for this cause and everyone with cancer who is really doing it tough. 

First 1000 down!

Friday 4th Sep

Thanks to everyone who has donated I've smashed my fundraising target already, so appreciative of everyone's support for such a good cause. 

So now I've gotta hold up my end of the bargain... Cancer is tough and so the challenge should be too. Pushed past 1,000 pushups today (1,221 - had to do a few extras at martial arts) so only 7,779 to go! 

Tackle prostate cancer together.

Thank you to My Supporters
