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. nWhen I am overwhelmed, I tend to open a bottle of wine to feel better - as a busy mum this has always been quick and effective, but not healthy. I now have a habit I want to break. I want to be here with my family for a long time AND a good time! I will keep a commitment to others easier than a commitment to myself - so here goes doing BOTH!
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.
