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. It's my 19th year of fundraising and I hope to keep making a difference in other people's lives for many years to come.
Every 24 seconds, someone in Australia reaches out to Lifeline for help
This is my 19th Febfast and I'm committed to helping in 2026 once again.
There'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, and change to reset – 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.
Track your Febfast
Sponsor a night off my challenge by purchasing a One-OFF Pass. For a minimum donation of $39, you’ll give me an official night off and help Lifeline answer a call from someone in crisis.

MY IMPACT SO FAR
I've raised $7332 so far - that's 187 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?
