I'm taking Steps for Sleep!

As you know, I've been working for My Very Own Bed for over five years now, helping develop relationships and grow our network of support for kids' healthy sleep. Steps for Sleep is a community event we launched during Covid that has evolved into an in-person walk and wellness event, planned for April 29, 2023. It focuses on the connection between exercise and sleep: physical activity promotes sleep, and sleep helps us stay healthy and strong.

Kicking off during National Sleep Awareness Month, I'm taking steps for my own health and wellbeing and for 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 more 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, in turn, helps them heal, grow, and thrive.

I love this organization, and I hope you'll join me in taking steps to support kids' healthy sleep with a donation of any size to My Very Own Bed today. Every $300 we raise will help one more child receive front-door delivery of a new bed and Dream Kit.

Please also consider participating in Steps for Sleep by clicking "Sign up" here, https://runsignup.com/Race/MN/Minneapolis/StepsforSleep. You can walk around Boom Island and walk through the Wellness Fair on site, or walk anywhere the last week of April to take steps for your own and children's health and wellbeing.
