JOINING THE FUN: Horsham Hydraulics staff gather to complete a few push-ups as part of this month’s Push-Up Challenge. The business is one of several throughout the Wimmera-Mallee that has put up its hand to complete Australia’s largest mental health and fitness challenge. So far, 356 participants throughout the region are raising money for headspace Horsham’s youth mental-health programs. To date, businesses, schools, sporting groups, community organisations and individuals have raised $16,838. The challenge requires participants to complete 3318 push-ups between June 1 and 25. The number represents the number of Australians who died by suicide in 2019. People can visit thepushupchallenge.com.au for more information or to make a donation.
