Why I Febfast
This February I’m giving up alcohol — not just as a personal challenge, but as a chance to reset my health and support a cause that truly matters. Like a lot of people, I can over-indulge at times, and this month is about choosing something better for my mind and body while raising funds for Lifeline. Mental health struggles and suicide affect so many of us, whether personally or through someone we love, and Lifeline’s work saves lives every single day. If you’re able to donate, you’ll be supporting vital mental health and suicide prevention services — and helping keep someone connected when they need it most. Every contribution, big or small, genuinely makes a difference.
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.
