One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of difference

Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness. But it doesn't have to be that way. This year I'm taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to raise money for the St Vincent de Paul Society to support Australians in need. For one night, I'll be sleeping outside as part of an eye-opening experience to raise awareness and bring home the realities of homelessness.

To help break the devastating cycle of homelessness, I need your support. Will you help me to reach my target? Donating $100 can make a huge difference to people who need it most.

Great stuff Cam, always going above and beyond to help those in need. And on top of all that, it's almost unfathomable you have washed more than 50,000 blankets over the course of the last 10 years to give to St Vinnies to bring warmth to those sleeping rough. Long live Blankets for Brisbane and the CEO Sleepout.
