Hello, my name is Christine Motz and on February 28, 2015 -- I will be taking on the challenge of jumping into the freezing waters of Lake Erie to benefit Special Olympic athletes.

 

This will be my 6th year of accepting and completing the challenge. And what a challege it is--last year it was 28 degrees air temp and with the wind chill it was 17 degrees. I think it is a challenge that many people would not want to take.

 

As a Special Olympic athlete, I can tell you all the benefits Special Olympics has provided to the athletes. It is well worth your donation. Many of you that have known me, know how far I have come through the years.

 

Last year my team “Portage Grin and Bear It”, raised over $5,000 thanks to everyone's generosity. Won't you please consider making a donation towards my plunge. Any amount will be greatly appreciated. I hope to meet and exceed my goal of $1,000. With your help, "I CAN DO IT"!!!!

 

The Plunge will be will be held at Geneva State Park, Geneva Ohio if you would like to come and cheer me on.

 

Thank you so much.
Chrissy Motz
