I again want to thank everyone who sponsored me and helped raise $1890.00 in 2010. It was a great success. It was such a great success that here I go again, ready to plunge into the icy waters of Lake Manteno on March 5, 2011. This year I am increasing my goal to $2500.00.

I again am asking for your support. Please view my page and help support Special Olympics Illinois by sponsoring me with a donation. No donation is too small and is much appreciated. Remember that your donation is tax deductible. 

Your donations help support the nearly 21,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities and more than 4,000 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.

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.

I know several of you have asked about taking "The Plunge", and if you are still interested, feel free to contact me. They say anyone with a little guts and a warm heart can take the Plunge and join more than 5,150 people statewide who will voluntarily jump into freezing cold water in the middle of winter. I guess you could say that we'll be “Freezin’ for a Reason”!
