Why I Febfast

Helloooo!! My name’s arlo, I am an 18 year old boy from syd who is passionate about mental health, dance, LGBTQIA+ rights & rap music 😄🫶I’m taking on Febfast to support all LGBTQIA+ young people in crisis. I have personally faced many mental health battles due to a long period of homelessness & want to support all young people at risk! I couldn’t have gotten better without all the beautiful friends and adults I know guiding me on the right path. Things definitely started to get better for me just as I thought they wouldn’t! Just proves even in the hardest times there is always a light at the end of the tunnel😊

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.

MY PROGRESS

Check out my Febfast calendar to see my progress! You can choose a date to sponsor me with a One-OFF Pass. It will give me a night off my challenge while still supporting Australians in crisis.
