This
September, I'm taking on a challenge to complete 1,500 push-ups for Blue
September — that's 50 a day for the month.
It might
sound like a fitness challenge, but for me it's much more personal than that.
I'm
currently going through my own prostate cancer journey.
I was
diagnosed last year, had surgery, and unfortunately my cancer required further
treatment. I'm on hormone therapy, have just completed chemotherapy, and have
radiation treatment still ahead.
It's been
a pretty big year.
There have
been some tough days, but I've tried to keep moving forward — both physically
and mentally. So when Blue September came around, I thought I'd turn that into
a challenge and see if I could do something positive with it.
1,500
push-ups. One month. One goal — help raise awareness and money to tackle
prostate cancer.
And I'm
not doing it alone.
L&P
have joined me,
and we're pushing ourselves to get as many push-ups done as we can throughout
September.
But the
bigger reason I'm doing this is to get people talking about prostate cancer.
I never
expected to become one of the statistics.
But I
have.
And if
sharing my experience encourages even one fella to think about his prostate
health, talk to his doctor and understand his own risk, then it's worth it.
Prostate
cancer affects thousands of Kiwi men and their families every year. The more we
can do to raise awareness, support research and encourage men to take their
health seriously, the better.
I'm really
grateful to everyone who has already donated and supported us. We've made a
great start, but there's still a way to go.
500
push-ups down. 1,000 to go. 💪
If you'd
like to support us, we'd really appreciate it. Every donation helps.
And fellas
— don't ignore your prostate health. Know your risk, get informed and talk
to your GP about PSA testing.
Let's
tackle prostate cancer together. 💙
