I'm Raising Funds to Support Young Adults' Mental Health — Because It Matters More Than Ever

Hi friends,

On 6^th September, I’m taking part in a powerful challenge to raise funds for 20Talk, a mental health charity that’s doing something truly different — and deeply needed — for young adults aged 18–30.

This cause is close to my heart. Whether it’s someone you know, someone you love, or maybe even yourself — mental health struggles don’t discriminate. And yet, 80% of the population is supported by just 2% of mental health prevention funding. That’s not just a statistic — it’s a crisis.

We’re losing too many young people to silence, stigma, and systems that don’t speak their language. 20Talk is changing that. They’ve already run over 60 free Mental Health Maintenance courses, giving young adults the tools to manage life’s challenges, talk about suicide safely, and support each other in ways that feel real and relatable.

🧘‍The Challenge I’m Taking On

To raise awareness and funds, I’ll be stepping into a 2x2-metre square for 20 hours — no phone, no talking, no distractions. Just silence, reflection, and purpose.

It’s symbolic of how isolating mental health struggles can feel — and how important it is to break that silence.

Here’s what your donation can do:

$200 = Sponsors one young adult to attend a full-day mental health training course.

$1,000 = Reaches 80,000 young people online with targeted mental health education.

$120 = Buys a public banner with a positive mental health message.

💙 Why I Need Your Help

I’m aiming to raise $1,000 before the event. Every dollar helps bring life-saving education and support to someone who might be struggling in silence.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, lost, or unsure how to help someone going through a tough time — this is your chance to make a difference.
