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.
To help break the devastating cycle of homelessness, I’m calling on my family, friends, clients and colleagues - most of whom I know are fortunate enough to spend each and every night in the warmth and safety of their homes.
Will you help me to reach my target? Donating any amount will make a significant difference to people who need it most.
So far this year I helped provide
