Why I Febfast

I recently lost a friend to suicide. He had struggled with his mental health for decades. I'm still in disbelief and am struggling to comprehend his choice. If giving up alcohol for 28 days can help others to overcome or co-exist with their struggles, then I'm all in. nnPlease join my team- Hope over Hangovers and donate if you can.nn Life can feel overwhelming, and having someone to listen makes all the difference. Please donate to help Lifeline be there when it matters most.

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 $294 so far - that's 7 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?
