Hi everyone,

I'm taking on the 20 Hours for 20Talk challenge because I believe in the power of action to change the conversation around youth mental health. For 20 hours, I'll be sitting in silence in a 2-meter square space - no talking, no technology, just me and my thoughts. It's a unique way to raise awareness and funds for something that matters deeply to me.

Too many young Australians struggle with their mental health in silence. By literally sitting in silence myself, I'm helping to break that silence in a meaningful way. Every dollar I raise goes directly toward providing Mental Health Maintenance scholarships for young adults who need support.

This challenge isn't just about fundraising - it's about pushing myself out of my comfort zone, practicing mindfulness, and showing solidarity with those who face their mental health battles alone. In our hyper-connected world, 20 hours of disconnection and self-reflection feels both daunting and necessary.

I'm committed to raising $1,000 to secure my spot and contribute to the overall goal of providing 2,100 scholarships. Your support doesn't just help me complete this challenge - it directly impacts young lives by making mental health support more accessible.
