Do I need to do all 1,271 sit ups?

Every sit-up counts, whether it’s 10 or you’re tackling the full 1,271! Take part at your own pace and ability—what matters most is that you’re participating and helping raise awareness for people with disability.

You can even break it up throughout the day—do a few in the morning, afternoon, and evening!

Do I have to do traditional sit-ups?

Not at all! You can mix it up with crunches, seated exercises, or any fun core-based exercise that works for you. The goal is to get moving, have fun, and raise awareness for people with disability. The more you move, the bigger the impact.

This challenge is open to everyone, no matter your ability!

When you raise funds through the Sit-Up Challenge, you're directly helping create life-changing opportunities for people with disability! Your support fuels programs that empower people with disability to live, learn, work, and thrive.

Here’s how your funds make a real impact:

  • Supported Employment: We help people with disability discover their potential with job training and meaningful employment, so they can support to their communities and achieve their dream jobs.
  • Education and Skills Development: Your support helps provide personalised programs to teach essential skills to people with disability – whether it’s life or work-based skills so they can live more independently.
  • Community and Social Inclusion: We create fun, engaging activities that bring people together, helping them build social connections, make new friends, and feel the confidence to participate within their communities.

By participating in the Sit-Up Challenge, your support directly helps fund these critical programs and resources, creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for people with disability.
