Why I Febfast

I’m taking on Febfast for suicide prevention. As you know my brother-in-law Chris Crerar took his life in Feb 2024, he was 54. He had struggled with his demons for many decades. He was loved by so many. Mental illness has a facade, until you have lost someone to suicide you don’t truly understand the devastating affect it has on those who are left behind. Please donate to help prevent suicide.

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 $97 so far - that's 2 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?
