I'm taking steps to improve my own sleep by participating in Step for Sleep, My Very Own Bed's community walk and wellness event on Saturday, May 18th at DeLaSalle High School. Physical exercise improves our sleep, and sleep helps us perform better and improves our overall health.

I'm also taking steps to support kids' healthy sleep by fundraising for My Very Own Bed, a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides new beds and Dream Kits (bedding, book, and stuffed animal) to children who need them – most of whom have recently moved out of homelessness into stable housing. The kids receiving beds of their own have been sleeping on the floor or an air mattress or sharing a bed with a parent or sibling. In their new beds, they are sleeping better, which helps them heal, grow, and thrive. 

These past few years my family, Milow Electric and I have been involved in supporting the wonderful organization, My Very Own Bed. We were out walking around Nicolette Island the last two years, and I will be out walking on fundraiser day again this year! I would appreciate if anyone is willing to donate or share my fundraising link to support this organization and these families!
