Polar Plunge

Cody, Isaac, and Charlie have all signed up to do the Polar Plunge.

What is the Polar Plunge?  On January 28th, they will jump into the frigid Mississippi River in Hannibal, Missouri, along with several other nuts to have a delightful swim among the mini-icebergs.

Why would anyone do that?  To raise money for the Special Olympics.

Why am I telling you this?  So you can pledge money to the Special Olympics in the name of any/all of the boys.  All money pledged goes to the Special Olympics.

How do you do pledge in their name?  Go to Team SpeedKin’s page, click on one of their names, and follow the instructions to pledge.  If you’re not comfy with the online money thing, let me know and we’ll make other arrangements.  Each kid must have $50 pledged in their name in order to plunge in January but they’ve all opted to set a goal of $250 each.

What do you get out of it?  I will be there, giggling my butt off and making fun of them, supporting them and taking pictures to post back here on the blog so that you, too, can giggle your butts off and make fun of them, share in their joy in supporting the Special Olympics.

What makes it even better?  Isaac and Charlie will be doing a Klondike campout that weekend with the Boy Scouts.  They’ll be camping out Friday night in the freezing cold, waking up in the freezing cold, doing the Polar Plunge in the freezing cold, going back to the campout, and spending another two days and one night in the freezing cold.  What’s not to love?

So go pledge!!  I’ll be nagging you all again about this in case you forget.  If there’s one thing at which I excel, it’s nagging.  Just ask Steve.
