20 Hours Could Equal 20 Young People Helped-that’s my personal challenge.
Mental health isn't something that only affects "other people." It touches families, friends, workplaces and communities. Like many people, I've seen first-hand how much difference support, understanding and the right conversations can make.
That's why I've decided to take on the 20 Hours for 20Talk Challenge.
For 20 hours I'll sit inside a 2×2 metre square with no phone, no technology and no talking—just a chair, food, water, a journal and my thoughts. It's only a brief experience compared with what many people live with every day, but if it helps raise awareness and funds, it's worth every minute.
My goal isn't just to complete the challenge. I've set myself a goal of raising $2,400—that's $120 for every hour I'm sitting in silence.
Why $120?
Because every $120 donated funds one young person to attend a Mental Health Maintenance workshop, giving them practical tools, knowledge and support before they reach crisis point.
If I reach my goal, together we'll help 20 young people access that program.
Whether you can donate the equivalent of five minutes, half an hour or a whole hour of the challenge, every contribution genuinely makes a difference.
Thank you for supporting me, supporting 20Talk, and most importantly, investing in the mental wellbeing of young Australians.
Together, let's turn 20 hours of silence into something that speaks volumes.
Now you knew it was coming… I’m going to ask you to dig deep and sponsor me please, but really it’s not sponsoring me, it’s how many people will we fund to help change their lives:
$120 sponsors one full hour and funds one young person.
$60 sponsors half an hour.
$30 sponsors 15 minutes.
$10 sponsors five minutes.
Many thanks in advance
