Thank you for visiting my "Super Plunge" fundraising page. I will join Some Unbelievable Plungers who Enter Repeatedly once an hour, every hour, for 24 hours straight into Lake Michigan on Feb. 26 & 27, 2010. Yes, I am plunging 24 times in 24 hours during the 5th Annual SUPER PLUNGE to benefit Special Olympics Illinois. 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. I have been a Special Olympics Illinois Volunteer for 30 years and want to continue to help support Special Olympics athletes. I will plunge this year in memory of Eunice Kennedy Shriver the Co-Founder of Special Olympics and my cousin Darlene Stevens who was a Special Education teacher who died of cancer in her 40's.

I am also participating in the Special Olympics Maryland Super Plunge on January 29-30, 2010 as a warmup to the Super Plunge in Illinois. So.....you know I am serious about trying to raise money for Special Olympics if I am crazy enough to do this in two different states!

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 Polar Plunge for Special Olympics Illinois.

If you would prefer to write a check, make it payable to Special Olympics Illinois and send to:

                                             Kathy Schniedwind

                                             1715 Liston Court

                                             Normal, IL 61761

If a company will donate $250 or more, I will wear a company or business T-shirt bearing that company's name!

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