Why I Febfast

I am doing FebFast in memory of my partner, Scott Teasdale, who sadly took his life in February 2025. Scott will forever be part of my heart. I also dedicate this to Ray, Lisa and Pav, and to everyone who lives with the weight of mental health struggles, those who feel unseen or unheard, and those we have heartbreakingly lost. Everyones pain matters, their voice matters, and are not alone. Even in the hardest moments, being listened to can make all the difference.

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.
