“It’s an extra-meaningful one for me this year as it’s my tenth time hosting, plus I’m excited to share the co-hosting duties with Sarah for the first time. It will be an incredible night, not only for raising much-needed funds for Vision Australia, but also spreading Christmas joy to families all over Australia.”
