The Fernie Old School Boxing Club is taking part in the Push-Up Challenge this February and invites the community to join in.

Participants take on 2,000 push-ups over 23 days (February 5–27), representing the 2,000 lives lost to suicide each day worldwide. Push-ups can be substituted with sit-ups, squats, or other approved exercises, making the challenge accessible to everyone.

The challenge raises funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) to support mental health programs and services in the Kootenay’s.

Free to join, participants receive a four-week training plan and tips to support both physical and mental wellbeing.
