Marley Cornwall

20 Hours for 20Talk | Perth September 6th

Marley is taking on the 20-hour challenge to support youth mental health and raise awareness about the importance of prevention.

💛 Why I’m Choosing Silence for Mental Health 💛

On September 6th, I’ll be doing something a little unusual - sitting in complete silence for 20 hours. No talking, no music, no screens. Just me, my thoughts, and the space to reflect.

Why? Because silence speaks volumes.

This isn’t just a personal challenge it’s part of a powerful initiative by 20Talk, a grassroots organisation that supports young people with real, raw, and relatable mental health education. They’re breaking the stigma, one conversation at a time and I want to help them do that.


The irony of silence is that it’s making a statement

In a world that moves fast and talks loud, we often miss the quiet cries for help including our own and others’. Sitting in silence is a symbol of what too many people face every day: isolation, overwhelm, and the feeling that they can’t speak up. By staying silent for 20 hours, I hope to honour those who have felt voiceless and help give them a platform.


Mental health matters more than ever

We all know someone who’s struggled - maybe it’s a friend, a family member, or maybe it’s you. I’ve seen how important it is to have spaces where people feel safe, seen, and supported. And 20Talk is doing incredible work to make that happen in our communities.


My goal: Raise $1,000 to support 20Talk’s mission

Your donation will directly help fund mental health workshops, school programs, and digital resources for young Australians who need it most. Every dollar is a step toward change and a reminder that no one has to suffer in silence.


Whether you can donate, share, or simply send some good energy my way, I’m grateful you’re here.


Let’s turn 20 hours of silence into a lifetime of support.

With love,

Marley

Update on 20Talk Fundraising Challenge

Unfortunately, due to medical reasons, I am unable to participate in the September 20Talk event as planned.


I want to reassure everyone who has supported me so far that your donations are not in vain. 💛 I will still be completing this challenge, just a little later than expected, in March 2026. My “why” for taking part in this event remains exactly the same, and I’m as committed as ever to seeing it through.


I want to sincerely thank 20Talk for their understanding, flexibility, and support during this time. And of course, thank you to everyone who has already donated your encouragement means the world, and it motivates me to keep going.


The challenge may be delayed, but the cause is just as important  and I can’t wait to complete it with all of you cheering me on.


With love, 

Marls x
