I know that we are all incredibly busy and stretched a bit thin this time of year. And for most of the year in general. But if you have a moment and possibly a few extra dollars, please read on.
One of the Detective’s good friends does something really crazy each winter. He participates in the Polar Plunge to raise money for the Special Olympics. But he doesn’t just plunge once, he’s a Super Plunger (once an hour, every hour for a day.) That’s 24 times for those math-challenged. 24 TIMES! If you are at all familiar with the weather in Missouri, you know it is brutal in the winter.
He is one of the top fundraisers in the area and takes part in this self-inflicted torture for a cause close to his heart. He doesn’t complain, he doesn’t pressure, he just does it. I have several friends and family members that have athletes in their circles. The Special Olympics are an amazing organization, and like everyone, could use a little help.
This season’s Plunge takes place on January 28, 2011.
If you have an dollar or 2, please consider a donation. And tell him Cop’s Wife sent you. ;)
