Why I Febfast
I’m doing FebFast with Lifeline Australia for my beautiful uncle Paul, who we lost to suicide this year. He was the funny one in our family always joking, never taking life too seriously and losing him has been heartbreaking. It’s made me realise how much someone can be struggling even when they’re the person making everyone else laugh. I’m doing this to honour him and to support Lifeline, because no one should feel like they have to carry things alone. If this fundraiser helps even one person reach out or feel supported, then it’s worth it. Thank you so much for donating or sharing, it really means a lot.
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.
