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.

So far this year I helped provide

Congratulations Stephen on your terrific breakfast program which I always enjoy. Well done on your amazing weight loss. An inspiration to everyone to demonstrate what sheer grit and will power can do. I'm not an 18 year old groupie but an 84 year old chook. You look terrific when you appear on Sky News.
