Why?  Because we can.  This team started out as we sat at dinner talking about things we wanted to do.  Last year we missed out, and this year due to my stellar memory, we almost missed out again, but Katy has my back and boom, we are gonna be neck deep in it come Feb.

 

We formed a team to see how many other insane individuals we could talk into joining us, and for those that are still sane, we ask for donations to cheer us on, but more importantly to give back a small amount to our community that has given us so much.

 

There are over 30,000 Special Olympics athletes in Kentucky and Ohio, and that program takes money to run.  As a business person I know literally everything is a nickel and dime affair.  But these kids need more than a our loose change.  They need support and encouragement and nobody does that better than the Special Olympics team. 

 

All donations to our team will go to Special Olympics to provide year-round sports training and competition opportunities to children and adults with intellectual disabilities.  Through sports, Special Olympics athletes build confidence, self-esteem, and develop skills they can take off the field and into their everyday lives.  Every $25 we raise helps provide a season of athletic competition for one Special Olympics athlete. Your donation helps push us in the frigid water and creates a world in which all people with intellectual disabilities have a chance to be accepted and respected in their communities.

 

So, please consider joining us.  Join our team, physically or virtually (I have to make allowance for the Cali folks, unless they are truly crazy no one would trade that for NKY in winter).

 

Blessings to you all, see you in the tank!
