I’m Taking on the ‘20 Hours for 20Talk Challenge’ in Melbourne, December 6!
What’s the Challenge? I will sit inside a 2x2 meter square space for 20 hours in silence. There is no talking, no phone or tech. It is just myself, a water bottle, a pen and paper, a chair and my thoughts.
Why I’m Doing It? This challenge is about more than silence for me, it’s about what the silence represents. In today’s world it can sometimes feel like there is a real lack of connection – with ourselves, with each other and the things that truly matter. We’re rushing, we’re distracted and we’re carrying so much noise. By committing to 20 hours of silence, I want to create;
- Space for my own mind
- Space to honour the struggles young people face when they don’t feel able to speak up
- Space for us, as a community, to reconnect
My Goal? I am aiming to raise awareness and funds to support youth mental health. My goal is to raise $1000 toward 20Talk’s work to give young people tools, connection and hope. The funds will help to provide scholarships and programs that can make a real difference.
How Can You Help? Your donation would be incredible, every bit counts! You can donate here; https://www.20hoursfor20talk.com.au/fundraisers/chelseahayes/20-hours-for-20talk--melbourne-december-6.

- $50+ : Your Own Personal Letter – I will write a personal letter to you
