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 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 $177 so far - that's 4 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?

FebFast Day 4

Wednesday 4th Feb
I had a great morning. Solomon and I went to and from the hospital on foot. It’s a gorgeous stroll. Perfect paths adorned and sheltered by an abundance of old eucalypts and pepper trees. Solomon seems well today. Around lunch time,  I ventured out to Moonee Ponds and explored away. Towards the end of the day we were joined by a close friend. In news from home, my exiting tenants trashed my place. Still, today a sober place.
