20Talk fundraiser
Hi my name is Crystal.
I am someone who still regularly suffers from mental health from childhood trauma. This stain from my mental health has seeped into every aspect of my life. I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
There is so much wrong with the world that I really fear for future generations. Hence why I am participating in this challenge.
I am raising funds for the mental health charity called 20Talk. I'm going to take on the challenge of sitting in a 2 metre square box for 20 hours with no technology and no talking. All I will have is my own thoughts, a journal and a chair to sit on.
Some sad satistics...
- Suicide still remains the leading cause of death for young people aged 15-44.
- Only 2% of mental health funding goes towards prevention (Mental Health Commission 2022)
I'm completing the 20 Hours for 20Talk to turn these statistics around. Your contribution goes towards 20Talk's relatable prevention campaigns. They are a mental health charity that makes education cool and accessible, for young people by young people.
Your generous donations go towards:
- Every $120 puts a young person through a one day Mental Health Maintenance cours
- Expanding 20Talk's online resources and 60,000+ social media community
- Running large-scale interactive mental health events
By improving mental health literacy, removing harmful stigma, and encouraging professional help-seeking we are preventing people from getting people into crisis in the first place.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post and for donating to the cause. Hopefully this small challenge can help change someone’s life.
If you ever need to chat, I’m always here. Love you all and thanks again!
Thank you to my Sponsors
