People say I must be crazy...maybe I am...but as I jump into the icy cold waters of Lake Michigan I will see the faces of kids, like my son Damen, as he wins his medals, how much the special olympics has boosted his self esteem.The friends he has made.The friends I have made.I even get to brag at work for three days every time Damen wins.The Special Olympics does wonder for our kids and  it is because of  your support.

Take a few minutes and check out the photo gallery on the special olympic website,than you will see why I have chosen to take the plunge

Thank you for visiting my Polar Plunge fundraising page. They say anyone with a little guts and a warm heart can take the Plunge and I am one of those folks. I’m collecting donations from family, friends, co-workers and anyone else who wants to support the nearly 21,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities and more than 6,000 Young Athletes ages 2-7 of Special Olympics Illinois! Your donations will help provide athletes with intellectual disabilities the chance to participate in year-round sports training and competition.

To reward your generosity, I’m going to join more than 5,700 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. I guess you could say that I’m “Freezin’ for a Reason”!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to the LETR 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!
