What’s this about?

Friday 4th Oct

Hi everyone!

I am taking on this challenge to raise awareness for mental health in honour of my beloved friend Joe. 


Joe was a very talented musician and writer and the most interesting, gifted and smart person I’ve known till this day. He brought so much joy and laughter to everyone he met. Joe struggled with his mental health battle and sadly lost his fight not long ago. 


The challenge will be held on the 9th of November which would have been Joe’s Birthday, so in honour of him and his life I would love your support.


What’s the challenge?


If reached the target of $1000, I get to be part of the challenge and will be sitting in a 2m square for 20 hours in silence without technology. 

The challenge will be held in a warehouse with 40 other participants. Each participant will be sitting in their own square, no one allowed to talk. 

The only items allowed are a chair, journal & pen and a swag/ sleeping bag to rest. 

This will be a time to self reflect and to sit with your own thoughts for a duration of 20 hours. 


The challenge will support 20talk raise funds and awareness in support of those struggling with their mental health. 


If you are in a position to do so please donate to this cause. 


Any help would be greatly appreciated! 


With love, Marie x

It’s been a long time Marie, I’m sorry for this to be the reason I reach out. I am a mental health councillor now but also currently I’m admitted to hospital for my own mental health issues. If you need anything or feel like you need a safe place to express how your feeling I am alway open to listen. My love and strength are with you during this time. Don’t hesitate to reach out for anything x
