Why I Febfast
I’m taking on Febfast to support people in crisis. 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
Some sobering reasons why I’m participating in Febfast
Saturday 31st Jan- One in seven Australians will experience depression in their lifetime.
- Every day, nine Australians die by suicide and 54,000 people attempt to take their own lives each year.
- Suicide and distress can affect everyone, but some members of our community are at greater risk:
- Men account for 75% of suicide deaths.
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are more than 2.5 times more likely to die by suicide than non-Indigenous Australians.
- Members of the LGBTQIA+ community are 10 times more likely to attempt suicide than the general population.
- Each year, Lifeline provides lifesaving, 24/7 crisis support and suicide prevention services to over 1 million Australians in their toughest moments.
As someone with lived experience of mental illness, this cause is very close to my heart.
Please consider donating to Lifeline if you’re able to spare a few dollars 💙
