Participating in their 5th 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 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
94
Individual support programs
248
Beds
995
Meals
Funds raised over the years

Thank you for your words of encouragement after we performed on stage in Sydney. I vow to make a bigger donation when we are rich and famous! Until then, I will think of other ways to help, such as increasing awareness, thus support for helping people who need it. For those who are homeless or doing it rough or tough: 'We are all human and one circumstance away from a completely different life.' For those who may consciously or unconsciously stigmatise people doing it rough or tough: 'We are all human and one circumstance away from a completely different life.' I should trademark this. Copyright 2024 C.M. Thank you again for your kind words, Russell tells us how brilliant you are, a legend, actually. He has a brill heart too and is super supportive. Cheers for doing what you do!
