Raising vital funds for Youth Mental Health

Hey everyone!

I’m excited to share that on 5th September 2026 I’m participating in 20Talk’s 20Hours event. This event will see me sitting in a 2x2 meter square for 20Hours in silence with nothing but my swag, a water bottle, a journal and chair. There will be no technology and no talking. As a part of this challenge, my goal is to raise $1000 toward 20Talk’s mission which is to empower young adults aged 18-30 by integrating essential mental health tools and skills into their lives.

It would be awesome if you could donate to this challenge. I decided to do it because too many young people are struggling with challenges that no child should have to face alone.

Over the years, I’ve seen family and friends navigate the heartbreak of watching their children battle anxiety, depression, isolation, and the pressures of today’s world. It has shown me just how important it is that young people have access to support, guidance, and someone who genuinely cares.

The funds raised will help 20Talk, this incredible not-for-profit organisation, train mentors and coaches who can provide encouragement, connection, and practical support to young people when they need it most.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps create opportunities for vulnerable youth to be heard, supported, and empowered to build a brighter future. Thank you for helping me make a difference in the lives of young people who need it most.
