I’m sleeping out against homelessness

For years, we have all watched the homelessness crisis grow in Ireland. It's a heartbreaking reality that thousands of children are affected, their childhoods lost and futures blighted. This isn't inevitable; it's a matter of choice and political will.

I'm used to tackling challenges head-on, and I believe in leading by example. That's why I'm taking a stand and sleeping out against homelessness as part of Focus Ireland's Shine A Light on Friday 10 October. 

Please show your support by donating to my fundraising page: every contribution, big or small, gets us closer to creating a future where everyone has a safe place to call home.
