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. I'm taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout again 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? Any donation is greatly appreciated and can make a huge difference to people who need it most.

This is an inspiring initiative. I owe so much of what I’ve achieved to Australia and its people, so it means a lot to support a cause like this. Proud to be part of this initiative in my humble way. Please accept my humble contribution and best wishes for your efforts.
