Call me brave or call me bonkers, but I have committed to plunge into frigid water to show my support for the over 30,000 Special Olympics athletes in Kentucky and Ohio. Your donation will not only force me into the icy cold water but will also help support Special Olympics in their efforts to provide year-round sports training and competition opportunities to children and adults with intellectual disabilities.  Through sports, Special Olympics athletes build confidence and self-esteem, and develop skills they can take off the field and into their everyday lives.  Help me create a world in which all people with intellectual disabilities have a chance to be accepted and respected in their communities. 

Depending on how well you know me, you would know I have always hated cold pools and longed to get into any hot tub available. Please help force me out of my comfort zone and be somewhat courageous in order to show respect and support for all of the Special Olympics athletes which are being courageous everyday for making their goal and working hard to achieve it. Thank you everyone for sharing this and helping support the cause it means so much to so many.
