Participating in their 1st Vinnies CEO Sleepout

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.

So what is my motivation? Sadly, Chris Hardman, one of my colleagues at Trinity Catholic College Goulburn, died earlier this year. At Chris' funeral, through one of the eulogies, we learned that Chris lived on the streets of Sydney for eight years. To honour Chris' memory, I want to participate in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout.

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.
