Why I Febfast

I’m taking on Febfast to support people in crisis and to go through the challenge of a month without an (alcoholic) aperitif! On a serious note, life can feel overwhelming, and having someone to listen makes all the difference. That's what Lifeline is all about: being there for anyone going through a crisis, big or small. In fact, there's no such thing as a small crisis. If you need to chat with someone for any reason, there will be someone on the other side of the line to listen without judgement. Please donate to help Lifeline be there when it matters most.

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 $438 so far - that's 11 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?
