Hey All!

Another Sleepout for a great cause.  This will be my 7th time participating.  I am grateful for your support.

I miss the big tent event; but we will be doing a virtual sleepout again this year.  Once again, Ardy (my trusty Springer Spaniel) will be joining me; and we will be sleeping out on our back porch.

When I look at this event, I'm just glad:

     1.  That I have a choice to not sleep out

     2.  That I have gear rated for the conditions

Imagine being a kid whose parents throw them out of the house.

Imagine being a kid who suffers so much abuse that living on the street seems a better option than staying in your home.

Imaging being a kid who is mentally ill or has an addiction and just can't seem to make good decisions for themselves.

These kids don't really have a choice, and having seen and talked to some of them on the street, I can promise you that they don't have the right gear for winter sleep-outs.  

If Spectrum gets to just a fraction of these kids, and helps them find a better path, we will all reap the benefits of growing kids who have a better shot at success in their futures.  

Sleeping out and raising some cash for this is pretty easy math for me.  

Please Help Spectrum by Helping Me to reach my goal!
