Tyrone Cammaroto Takes on Sleep at the G 2026 - Raising Funds to End Youth Homelessness

On the night of Thursday 14 May 2026, I will be sleeping at the MCG as part of Sleep at the G, brought to you by MCM - one of Australia's leading homelessness organisations.

Every night, more than 122,000 Australians experience homelessness. That number is larger than the maximum capacity of the MCG itself. And alarmingly, a quarter of all those people are aged between 12 and 24. In Victoria alone, more than 7,600 young people are sleeping rough or without a safe place to call home every single night.

Those are not comfortable numbers to sit with. They are not meant to be.

Sleep at the G exists to raise funds and awareness for youth homelessness in Victoria. Participants spend a night on the ground at the MCG to experience - in the smallest possible way - what it feels like to not have a safe place to sleep. The funds raised go directly toward MCM's specialist services for young people, including Youth Coaches, Education and Employment programs, and Therapeutic Staff who help young people heal from trauma and build the skills to transition to independence.

Homelessness is not a choice. It does not discriminate. And a safe roof is only the beginning - young people need sustained, specialist support to genuinely rebuild their lives.

I work in the CBD. I walk past people sleeping rough every single day. It is not something you can unsee, and it is not something I think you should look away from. Sleep at the G is my way of doing something about it rather than just walking past.

Youth homelessness in particular sits with me. These are young people - some as young as 12 - who have not had the start in life that most of us take for granted. They do not need judgment. They need specialist support, stability, and someone in their corner. That is exactly what MCM provides.

This comes off the back of The March Charge 2026, where I raised $1,006 for Cancer Council Australia and walked 219km throughout March. I made a commitment this year to show up for causes that matter - and this is the next one.

My fundraising target is $500. I have made a start but I need your help to get there. Every dollar raised goes directly to MCM's programs supporting young Victorians experiencing homelessness.

If you can donate, please do. If you cannot, sharing the link costs nothing and means more than you might think.

Together, we have the power to end youth homelessness.
