Why I Febfast

I’m jumping into Febfast this year to support people doing it tough. Life can get overwhelming, and sometimes having someone who’ll just listen can change everything. That’s why I’m raising funds to help Lifeline be there when it matters most. So, I’m giving up booze for 28 days — starting 30th January because, let’s be honest, I’ve got events on the 27th and 28th and I’m only human. Anyone that knows me knows I love a cheeky bubbles or vino to unwind after a long day or week (or long hour haha), so this is definitely going to be a challenge. But it feels good knowing that while I’m doing something positive for myself, I’m also helping Lifeline support people in crisis. I’m making February count — for me, and for those who really need it. If you’re able to donate, it would mean the world and help keep me on track. Renee xx

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 $1338 so far - that's 34 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?
