Why I Febfast

I’m taking on Febfast to support people in crisis. Life can feel overwhelming, and having someone to listen makes all the difference. Please donate to help Lifeline be there when it matters most. And I reckon a month away from booze and social media will do me a world of good too.

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.

MY IMPACT SO FAR

I've raised $358 so far - that's 9 calls answered for Lifeline's crisis support hotline.

Every $39 helps power another call, offering hope and crucial moments of connection to people in their toughest moments. Will you back me with a donation?

My Updates

Candlelight gig

Tuesday 10th Feb
Folk Bitch Trio at dusk. Sans booze, though shout out to the girls on the picnic blanket near us chain smoking and passing a bottle of rose back and forth like it was 1987.

Day 2 Run and won

Monday 2nd Feb
Two days sans alcohol and social media. Also without caffeine as I realised, while tipping beans into the machine last night I've been using a bag of decaf for a couple of weeks. That explains the lingering headache I've had off and on. Oops!

Full disclosure that I may buy a pass-out on Thursday to wish my baby brother a happy birthday via the time honoured technique of social media. But I'll pay for it.

And so will he.
