Hello and thank you for stopping by my page.

My name is Candace and I am your Ms Galaxy Success 2024 and as part of my journey to the Australia Galaxy Pageants national final in Sydney this May, I am raising awareness for mental health and money for batyr.

Did you know that in Australia, 1 in 4 young people experience mental-ill health, and rates of psychological distress have increased in the last decade. Tragically, suicide is the leading cause of death for young people.

By supporting batyr, we’re helping empower young people with the confidence and skills to get through tough times and look out for their mates. Through sharing lived experience stories and peer-to-peer education, we are keeping young people from reaching the point of crisis and changing lives.

This cause is very close to my heart, having had my own daughter struggle with her mental health, to the point that she confessed, she thought the world would be a better place without her in it. Help me make a difference. Help make some noise about mental health and give the elephant in the room a voice!

Sending you love, light and positivity always,

Candace xoxo
