Why I Febfast
I'm taking on Febfast to support people in crisis. Life can feel overwhelming, and having someone there to listen can make all the difference. Tragically, my family lost a cousin of mine to depression/ alcoholic suicide in July 2024. The ripple effect is enormous, amongst family, friends and community. Andrew's death highlighted long-standing family traumas - traumas that don't just go away. Addiction, including alcohol addiction, is classified as a disease because it involves changes in the brain that affect behaviour, control and decision-making. I want to make a difference by fundraising to support the people who are there to help and to listen when life gets overwhelming, which it does for all of us at times. I am happy to pause unhealthy habits (scrolling social media) for Feb. 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.
