Why I Febfast

Mental health is everyone's business. We are all on a continuum of feeling like some days are diamonds...and some days are just rocks that can really weigh us down, and can lead us to make really poor decisions, even suicide. So I’m taking on Febfast to support people in mental health crises for those moments when life can feel overwhelming, Having someone skilled and helpful to talk and listen to at Lifeline makes all the difference, and helps us at our low moments get back on track for balanced and rewarding lives! Please consider donating to my Febfast challenge and help Lifeline be there, 24/7, when it matters most. Thanks!! Joe :-)

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 $286 so far - that's 7 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?
