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 in Sydney to raise awareness and empathy for the challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness.

I want to do my part in helping break the devastating cycle of homelessness; and need your support. Will you help me to reach my target? Donating $10 - $100 can make a huge difference to people who need it most.

So far this year I helped provide
