DAN DOESN'T TALK
Hey everyone! I am doing a 20 HOUR NO TALK fundraiser challenge for myself & those who struggle with mental health.
As someone who somedays loves to yap like there is no tomorrow I’m also someone who can be very silent when I find myself in my own head. In saying that with the stigma around mental health & for so many that experience it we often find ourselves surrounded by so many people & not feeling like we are able to speak to anyone. This can be due to lack of resources around support systems for mental health, not having the funds for the services, some not knowing who to reach out to &/or maybe not feeling like they have a safe space to express themselves due to fear of judgement.
This is all something that hits home to me, the personal struggles I have been through over the years & the depth of my pain has led me to be someone who reaches & speaks out so I can work through my personal struggles in a healthy & beneficial way.
This 20 HOUR NO TALK fundraising challenge I’m participating in involves me sitting with only myself in a 2X2 square with no means of technology, no interaction with anyone, although being surrounded by hundreds of others also doing the same, I will be challenged to sit with myself & my thoughts. This is something I feel extremely determined to do & something I feel that will challenge my mind body & soul.
I have a fundraising goal of $1000 to reach with the first $500 of that securing my spot for the challenge which I would be overwhelmed with if I got the chance to do. If you would love to follow me along this challenge & are in a position to donate please feel free to follow the donation link.
Sending lots of love
