Love the ladies in my life! 💛

A big thank you to my beautiful Mum and my wonderful sister for sponsoring me for the 20 Hours for the 20 Talk Challenge.

Your support means so much to me and I’m so grateful to have you both backing me while I take on this challenge. It’s so special to have family supporting something that is so important to me and helping raise funds for youth mental health.

Thank you both so much 💛

Had my first international donation! 💙

Big shout out to my cousin in the UK and the lovely Alison for your support! 💕 You guys are anwesome! 🙌🏻 Means a lot to me that you reached out to send through a donation! Miss you guys! Sending love and light! ✨💖

Thank's Babe! 💛

✨ $500 Milestone! ✨

A huge thank you to all my gorgeous supporters! I’ve now raised over $500 for the 20 Hours for the 20 Talk Challenge and I’m so incredibly grateful for the support from my friends, family, and colleagues.

Your generosity means so much and helps support young people who are struggling with their mental health.

There’s still a little bit of time before the event, so I’m hoping to keep building on this total and continue raising funds for youth mental health.

Thank you again everyone — you are all truly amazing humans 💛

Thanks to my work colleagues for your support 🌸

I’m so grateful to everyone at work who has sponsored me so far! ✨ Thank you not only for your generosity but for really getting behind me and supporting the cause. 🫶🏻  It means a great deal to have such thoughtful and supportive colleagues — you guys are amazing! 🌟💖

So grateful for first donations!

I’ve received my first donations for the 20 Hour Challenge and I honestly couldn’t be more grateful or excited 💛

Knowing that people are already getting behind this cause means so much to me. Teen mental health is something that deserves more awareness, more support, and more open conversations — and every donation, no matter the size, is helping make that happen.

This challenge is definitely going to push me outside my comfort zone, but seeing the support already coming in makes me even more motivated to do it.

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, shared, or encouraged me so far. If you’d still like to support me, there’s plenty of time — and I truly appreciate every bit of help.

Feeling very thankful and very motivated right now 💛

Just starting to get active!

So this challenge is something that feels a little outside my comfort zone. 

I’m taking on the 20 Hour Challenge to raise money for mental health support.

In order to raise funds for mental health charity 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. This challenge will be a small look into the day of someone struggling with mental health. All I will have is my own thoughts, a journal and a chair to sit on.

So why am I doing this?

We have all been touched in some way or another by the reality of mental health. It can be dark, lonely, and confronting. 

Structurally, the statistics are still alarming..

• 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!
