I love the outdoors. Sleeping outside in a Canberra winter is not the outdoors I had in mind.
So, the fact that I've signed up again to sleep outside for the Vinnies CEO Sleepout should tell you something about how much I care about this cause. Every night, thousands of Australians - including people in our community - experience homelessness. It really doesn't have to be that way.
Spending one night outside in June is a small thing to do. Just $100 can make a huge difference to people who are doing it tough. If you can spare anything at all, I'd love your support.
