Push-Up Challenge Champion: Amanda Garibaldi

Amanda Garibaldi crushed 2,185 pushups in 18 days and is still pushing each day as it’s been so good for her mental health! This is what she had to say about the Push-Up Challenge:

This was my second year joining the challenge but my first year reaching out and actively fundraising. I joined to push myself to address my own struggles – I have personally struggled with my mental health since being a teenager but most recently as an adult, struggling with postpartum depression after my son was born in 2021. I have always kept most of this struggle to myself and never talked about the impact of depression and anxiety but decided that this year, I wanted to actively share my journey through the challenge on social media and ask for donations!

I am so glad to have been a part of the Push for Better challenge and so proud that I was able to raise $586 for CMHA WW! Cannot wait to do it again in 2026!
