If wearing slippers is not really enough to address your stress – you should consider creating your own Lifeline Stress Down Day Challenge.

Finding a unique way to Stress Down out of your comfort zone can be really fun and help raise much needed funds for Lifeline. You can create your own fundraising event, and take sponsorships with your own webpage by going to Lifeline's Stress Down Day Challenge Centre. Create an account, set up your challenge and get your friends, family and workmates to sponsor your efforts.

In 2008, some fully stressed out fundraisers did some serious stressing-down and raised some serious funds.

Built on a premise of "It's stressful being a redhead", Brendan promised his friends, family and colleagues that he’d dye his hair blonde if he raised enough money.
