SPECIAL OLYMPICS ILLINOIS

SUPER Plunge at Northwestern University 2007

SUPER PLUNGING WITH TEAM CRAZY FOR COLE

I met Dwayne and Wendy in August of 1994 at Monmouth College (Monmouth, IL).  For the short time I attended school at Monmouth Wendy was my next door neighbor. I met Dwayne through Wendy, as they were friends at the time.  Dwayne is from Farmington, IL and I am from Galva, IL. Since we lived so close I would see Dwayne occasionally at hockey games in Peoria though out the years.  I have stayed in contact with Dwayne and for as long as I can remember he has always been an avid supporter of the Special Olympics. I am impressed by his dedication to this fine organization, and since 2003 I have promised Dwayne that at one time I would do the SUPER PLUNGE with he and Wendy.  This is the year…I have made the commitment and I to will be PLUNGING into the bone chilling waters of LAKE MICHIGAN once every hour starting at 1:00pm on February 23rd until 1:00pm on February 24th.  Fortunately, I will have my husband Joe at my side to support me the entire 24 hours to help me out of the water.  The reason I am doing this is for my friends Dwayne and Wendy as I see how important the Special Olympics Organization is to them and I just want to help do whatever I can.  I also, want to help them raise as much money as they can for the SUPER PLUNGE Event & Special Olympics this year.  My goal amount is $2,500.00 before February 23rd.  Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Thank you for visiting my "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 pledges from family, friends, co-workers and anyone else who wants to support Special Olympics Illinois athletes. Your donations will help provide athletes with intellectual disabilities the chance to participate in sports training and competition. To reward your generosity, I'm going to join an expected 2,000 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!
