Why I Febfast

This February, I’m going alcohol-free for FebFast to raise funds for mental health support across Australia. nnI’ve seen first-hand how mental health challenges can impact people and families, often more than we realise. This is my way of doing something positive while challenging myself for a great cause. nnIf you can donate, even a small amount, it would mean a lot and will help support services for those who need it most. Thanks so much for your support.

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 $374 so far - that's 9 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?
