Why I Febfast
Already raising funds for Lifeline thru’ the ‘Out of the Shadows’ walk each year, and loving having a drink every second day I’m not sure why I got drawn to this…. It’s taken me 3 weeks to commit so here I go.nIt is a two fold reason why I’m doing this: 1. With 1 in 5 Australians (21.5%) between the ages of 16-85 going thru’ a mental disorder in any 12 month period, and around 9 lives lost per day to suicide, we need to continue to provide money for direct intervention, and for research to turn this around;n2. Because it will be a challenge for me to not drink for a month but a challenge which will be good for my health, and weight loss.
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.
