My personal message:

UPDATE 2/20/09- Thanks to all so far who have allowed me to bump my fundraing target twice!

You must really love me to want to see me jump into a freezing cold lake year after year...thank you so much. I will do so once again on Saturday, March 7, 2009 at Lake of the Woods Mahomet.

To reward your generosity, I'm going to join over 2,600 people statewide who will voluntarily jump into freezing cold water in the middle of winter as we take part in the Law Enforcement Torch Run Polar Plunges for Special Olympics Illinois.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to the Law Enforcement Torch Run Polar Plunge for Special Olympics Illinois

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
