Why I Febfast

I have always tried my best to educate my students on the importance of standing up for what you believe in, showing love and support to others, bring awareness to important topics like emotions and mental health, and most importantly to spread kindness. this is my way of putting my words into actions and showing them that it’s not an unrealistic goal and not to be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone. i am grateful about any and all donations, it’s not about the amount raised but the awareness that is spread. every 24 seconds, someone in Australia reaches out to Lifeline - 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, so that no one has to face their toughest moments alone. just a gentle reminder that I am grateful you are here ♥️

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.
