Hike the Night VIC (25)

I'm Hiking for Homeless Youth

Hi friends!

On Friday, May 30, 2025, I’ll be taking on the Property Industry Foundation’s Hike the Night, trekking the stunning trail from Dromana to Cape Schanck.

Every step I take is a step toward building safe, secure homes for homeless youth in need. Your support can make a real difference—please consider donating to this cause and help us give young people a brighter future. Together, we can create lasting change.

Thank you for being part of this journey!

My Updates

Monday 26th May
Good hit out recently training for the Hike the Night challenge. The 3 degrees on the top of Mount Dandenong were a poignant reminder of how cold winter nights can impact homeless youth.

On the 30 May 2025, we’ve been given a few guarantees – pitch black conditions and no sleep. It's been a long time since I’ve been out all night! Looking forward to the enthusiastic industry colleagues to support each other in what will be arduous conditions that could involve a few potential bonuses of frost, rain, and biting winds (that were not in the sign-up brochure!).

Nearly at the start line!

Training update

Thursday 1st May
Thanks to all of you who have so generously donated to the cause. I have been overwhelmed by the support and the number of people who are contributing.

Bit of an update on "training". Have been getting a few rounds in - yes it does count as 10km... 

Getting close now. Time to step it up!

Thank you to my Sponsors
