A Favor To Ask
« on: February 14, 2009, 02:00:13 PM »
I'm relatively new to the show (last fall) and brand new to the boards, but my friend said I should post this as the "WFMU group is a really nice and generous group of people."

I'm wondering if any of you would be willing to help me reach my goal of raising $350 for Special Olympics Wisconsin?  I have only $65 to go!  I, along with thousands of others, will be taking the "Polar Plunge" into Lake Monona in Madison, WI next Saturday, the 21st.  I'm hoping not to die.

If you're interested in giving, please visit my Plunge page:

Even $5 would help a ton!

Thanks, everybody!

Sounds like someone was working as a conduit for nature's natural vengeance.  Just like Jesus.  And some of the others.

Hardcore! 

Hypothermia is serious business, so jumping into freezing water is no joke.

That video was very touching.  You and your family seem like top-notch people.
Go for $1000 next year!

Thanks so much for the kind words, guys!

I just got this email today:

There's still some money coming in, but at the moment it looks like in 2009 8,369 Plungers raised a total of $1,293,000 for Special Olympics during the eleven Plunges in Wisconsin!

Wow!

Thanks again!
