I'm taking part and sleeping rough so others don't have to on 14th October. Many of us are fortunate enough to have warm beds and roofs over our heads, I'm asking for your support in making a difference to those facing hard times and are homeless.

Thank you again to everyone that recently generously donated to my Trek 26 mile for Alzheimer's Society. For October would you forego a small indulgence of a glass of wine this month, or a smaller take away to support? Every bit helps no matter how big or small and can make a significant difference to someone's life. In lieu of birthday gifts this year, it would mean the world to me for a donation and even more to those that will benefit from the assistance of Big Sleep Easy.

I've heard amazing stories from those benefitting over the years from this cause and how they have been able to turn their life around.

Sleep Easy offer a fantastic challenge to individuals and schools who wish to help raise awareness of the hardships of homelessness and raise funds for a charity that works to bring homelessness to an end. Participants, who can be individuals, groups or businesses, set themselves a fundraising target before wrapping up warm, building a cardboard shelter and then sleeping rough so others don't have to.
