Experiences of a medical student living rough on the streets of London for a month. I'm posting this as he is my mate, and I've visited him a few times while he's been doing this. He's done a fantastic job of getting awareness raised - been on Sky, ITV, London Live etc.
He had to spend a whole afternoon with the journalist here, so didn't get any begging time to be able to afford food that day. On Xmas Day, he took all the money he'd managed to beg and bought little presents for full-time rough sleepers. Love his commitment to this cause.
