Follow My Journey in Raising Awareness
Follow my journey as I vlog for the next 52 days in the lead up to the challengeWhy am I doing this?
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?
6 months ago my financè lost his battle with mental health and took his own life three months before our wedding.
I’m hoping to help change the stigma around mental health and raise money towards a cause I think will make a significant impact on youth mental health.
We have all been touched in some way or another by the reality of mental health. It can be dark, lonely, and confronting.
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!
