TV presenter Sarah Harris says she’s going to give up on social media. But there is method behind her madness. Here she explains why she’s made the call.
I’m joining thousands of other Aussies and giving up a ‘vice’ for @FebFastAu to raise money for disadvantaged youth.
Plus I thought it’d be a great excuse to get off my phone and have a bit of a digital detox. No gramming, no tweeting, no posting, no liking, no scrolling. For a whole month. Instead I’ll just be living in the moment for the moment. Remember what that feels like???
Those of you who know me know this is a VERY BIG DEAL.
It’s the perfect excuse to kick-start a healthier year, whilst raising funds for disadvantaged young people in Australia.
From overcoming mental health issues and the impact of abuse and neglect, to finding safe housing and tackling drug and alcohol problems, febfast funds youth workers who connect with young people experiencing disadvantage and ultimately help them stand on their own two feet.
If you’d like to sponsor me (even just a few bucks would be amazing!) click here.
If you want to sign up and give something up (booze, sugar – anything!) you still can! Go to www.febfast.org.au
My fingers are already starting to itch…
See ya on the other side!
