Why I Febfast
I am taking on Febfast to support people in crisis and raise much needed funds for Lifeline. As my friends and family know how much I love a glass of wine or two it will also be beneficial to my health as well. During my lifetime I have always tried to be there for family and friends when they have needed someone to talk to. I have been fortunate in life to have people there for me when I needed them too. Depression and Anxiety affect so many of us and it's always good to know you have someone to turn to. Unfortunately, many people do not have this support or feel they are unable to talk to someone they know about their crisis. This is where Lifeline and other similar services fill that gap by being there to listen. Please donate to help Lifeline be there when it matters most and help save lives. Thankyou
Every 24 seconds, someone in Australia reaches out to Lifeline for help
That’s more than 3,000 people every single day who just need someone to listen. By skipping the sip for one month, I’m not only giving my body a break – I’m helping make sure Lifeline can be there, anytime and anywhere, for the people who need it most.
It’s a small challenge for me, but it could mean life-changing support for someone else.
Together we can ensure Lifeline can continue to be there 24/7 so that no one has to face their toughest moments alone.
