Celebrity raising money for the drought

SYDNEY - July 16, 2019 - PRLog -- The drought for many Australian farmers is unfortunately going to last a long time.

Married at First Sight star, Mick Gould is helping raise funds for Rural Aid and the farmers across the nation.

"I know first hand that so many farmers are doing it really tough. If I can help in a small way by raising funds that provide their cattle with food to eat, I'll be thrilled. I know many farmers put their cattle before themselves and hopefully some of the funds raised through this campaign can even put fresh food in their fridges!", said Mick Gould.

Mick has teamed up with Hang With a Star (http://www.hangwithastar.com/), Australia's first online platform that gives the public a chance to literally hang out with their favourite star while raising funds for a celebrity's charity of choice.

"It's an incredible concept and I'm so happy to give just a few hours of my life and raise some great money for Rural Aid (https://www.ruralaid.org.au/)", said Mick.

To win a money can't buy experience with the Married at First star, people simply go to HangWithaStar.com and make a donation for as little as $10 to Mick's charity of choice, Rural Aid.
