First time Roughtober participant, Greg Colby, is sleeping rough in memory of his brother Les, who was a much beloved patron of Rough Edges for many years, until his hospitalisation and passing on 13 July this year. Greg lives on the Central Coast but is coming down for the evening to sleep rough with us and honour his brother's life.
A year before he died, Les was interviewed for a video we were making to promote Rough Edges. Here is his interview:
You can support Greg's efforts and provide a happy place for people like Les by donating to his fundraising page. Or better still, sign up and join Greg on 27 October to sleep rough and share a meal with our patrons while raising money for Rough Edges.
