Participating in their 4th Vinnies CEO Sleepout

One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of difference

Working with over 15000 kids Australia wide each year in Sport allows me to see the range of those who are Privileged in the true sense of the word;  lucky enough to have a roof over their heads, a family around them, food on the table and someone to lead them. 

Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness. and so many of those are kids! Through no fault of their won. 

But it doesn't have to be that way. Each year I take 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. Last year I became ill during the night and realized how scary it was to not be in a safe house, with support. 

To help break the devastating cycle of homelessness, I need your support. Will you help me to reach my target? Donating even $10 can make a huge difference to people who need it most...every $ helps.
