Welcome to my SUPER PLUNGE fundraising for Special Olympics page. Along with some other devoted nuts we will plunge into Lake Michigan (at North Beach in Evanston Illinois) on February 23rd and 24th 2007. We will be jumping into the freezing cold water each hour for 24 hours straight.  This will be my 2nd year to raise money for a great cause. Last year we hit a little snag when we had the coldest weekend in 10 years at  -25 below zero, just my luck. We only made 16 jumps before the lake froze over and we had to quit. This is the year that we will make the 24 jumps!!!!!

As a SUPER PLUNGER I will be collecting pledges from family, friends, co-workers, businesses and anyone else who would want to show their support for the Special Olympics Illinois. For every business who donates $100.00 or more to my effort, I will take the plunge wearing YOUR company shirt with YOUR logo on it. I will send  photos also. Your donations will help provide athletes with intellectual disabilities the chance to participate in sports training and competition. I have been involved in Special Olympics for 5 years now. I would like to thank my company CARQUEST  and Rich Halko for getting me involved in the Torch Run and Special Olympics. 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 Super 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!
