20HRS for 20Talk | 9th November Melbourne

I'm supporting mental health prevention by completing the 20 Hours For 20Talk Challenge in November

Nathan from Fledge

In order to raise funds for mental health charity 20Talk I'm going to sit in a 2 metre square box for 20 hours with no technology and no talking.

This outrageous challenge is going to push me mentally to the limits. 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.Β 
  • 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 accessible, for young people by young people.

Your generous donations go towards:

  • Every $300 puts a young person through a two-day Mental Health First Aid course
  • Expanding 20Talk's online resources and 60,000+ social media community
  • Running large-scale interactive mental health events

It just makes sense to support prevention. 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.

Have a good day!

I can't believe it's in a few hours
Wishing everyone the best of luck

19 sleeps to go...

I can't believe we've raised over 1000 dollars in less than 24 hours. That's amazing.
I'd be over the moon if we managed to get to 5k in the next 19 days but I'm already blown away by the support shown.

20 sleeps to go...

Saturday 19th Oct
I can't believe we're halfway to 1000 already. The immediate influx of support and care is so inspiring and I'm so excited to sit in my square.
