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.

Wishing you all the best for the CEO Sleepout! It’s a meaningful way to raise awareness and I really appreciate that—especially knowing your role in public safety often brings you face to face with the tough realities of homelessness. Thanks for the compassion and commitment you show, both in your work and through this effort.
