20 Hours For 20Talk

Aim is taking on the 20-hour challenge to support youth mental health and raise awareness about the importance of prevention.

We got you to the #TEAMARISTO page. Wonderful. You're right where you're meant to be 💙

CONGRATULATIONS DARLING!!!!! You've found yourself on the #TEAMARISTO page and NOT #teamlowe, which would be an objectively worse use of your donation to 20 Hours for 20 Talk (I'd still love it if you donated anyway).

What is 20 HOURS FOR 20 TALK? This is a mental health fundraising challenge where I'll be sitting silently in a 2x2m square for 20 HOURS. No phones, no distractions, full drag. This sounds worse than our trip to Northbridge.

What this actually is is a small insight into the isolating reality of youth without proper mental health support. We're doing this in solidarity with our LGBTQIA+ and performing arts community. Your donations will go to supporting 20Talk's work for youth mental health, including:

- $120 to put a young person through a one-day Mental Health Maintenance course

- Expanding 20Talk’s online resources and 60,000+ social media community

- 20 Talk's large-scale interactive mental health events

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! If doing this out of the goodness of your own heart doesn't motivate you, additions to me shutting up IF I RECEIVE MORE DONATIONS THAN LOWE include:

- A depiction of you as a small, badly drawn animal that I will force my publisher to doodle

- MY 20 HOUR TAKEOVER of Lowe's Instagram (let's be real I'd do a better job of running it anyway)

- Favouritism.

Take care of yourselves. Know you're requesting a 20 hour break from my beautiful British accent for an amazing cause.
