Why I Febfast
I’m taking on Febfast to support people in crisis. A number of people in my life are volunteers, one of the closest people was a lifeline telephone counselling crisis support worker until caring for her patients during the pandemic (no working from home for her) became a priority. She is just one of the amazing supportive people that walk among us all each day. I like many people might not be here today without the support of people like that. 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 Updates
An unexpected loss of mass - 5.1kg down
Tuesday 24th Feb
FebFast Update – 5.1kg Down 💪
One month. No alcohol.
Result? 5.1kg gone.
Cutting out the drinks has made a bigger difference than I expected.
Less empty calories.
Better sleep.
Clearer head.
More consistent energy.
Better training sessions.
Lower inflammation.
Better recovery.
Alcohol quietly stacks up — not just the calories in the drink, but the late-night snacks, the poor sleep, the sluggish mornings and the skipped workouts that follow.
Removing it for February has been a reset.
But FebFast isn’t just about weight loss.
It’s about raising money for Lifeline, supporting Australians doing it tough and providing 24/7 crisis support.
If you’ve ever thought about taking a break from drinking — even for a month — I can genuinely say it’s worth it.
And if you’d like to support the cause, please consider donating to my FebFast challenge. Every dollar helps Lifeline continue the incredible work they do saving lives.
Thanks to everyone who’s supported so far 🙏
Let’s finish the month strong.
The force behind the challenge.
