On 21st October I will be sleeping out on the grounds of Cork City Gaol to shine a light on the issue of homelessness in Ireland today. I am joining other Business Leaders to raise funds to support the vital work of Focus Ireland and their aim to end homelessness in Ireland.

Family homelessness has reached historic proportions in Ireland with more than 2100 children living in emergency homeless accommodation in Ireland often unable to get to school, rarely getting a home cooked meal and sinking into darkness. I don't want to accept this as todays landscape in Ireland so I'm joining my peers to make a difference.

Please lend your support by sponsoring my journey.
