Sponsor Me

I have agreed to do the Big Sleepout this year:

On the 4th of July a bunch of people who live in houses and have WiFi will be making a public stand against homelessness at the annual Lifewise Big Sleepout.

The last time I slept rough was in Geraldine when I sneaked out of home in Form 4 age 14 to hook up with my girlfriend at the tunnels at Kennedy Park adventure playground..

This time I will be stripped of my creature comforts, forced to dress in casual clothing and exposed to the elements and given a first hand insight into what it means to ‘sleep rough’.

You aren't even allowed to get takeaway pizzas delivered from Prego or watch TV. It's really serious.

So on a more serious note: The night is to raise critical awareness and funds for Lifewise’s highly successful ‘no band aids’ approach to homelessness.

Rich, complex and slightly bitter (much like those who drink it perhaps), the cocktail is now over a century old and remains as complex...
