Sweetheart Passion Plunge - Feb 9th

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

Just wanted to let you all know that I plan on taking part in the Montana Law Enforcement Torch Run's Sweetheart Passion Plunge, and could really use your support.

What is the Passion Plunge, you ask? Well, imagine cutting a hole through several inches of ice on a lake, stripping down to shorts and a t-shirt, and jumping in for charity. That's pretty much the best way to describe it, I think. The monies raised go to support the Special Olympics of Montana (which after jumping into freezing water, I may be able to take part in...that's debatable, I guess).

For more information on this event (plus pictures of previous events): http://www.somt.org/torchrun/sweetheart.html

If you are interested in sponsoring me (and if so, I thank you sincerely!): http://www.firstgiving.com/scottmccombspassionplunge

I've already been told that Slingblade is going to come take pictures...and I'll wear my MERC shirt as well...so please consider!

Thanks,

LaTech (Scott "Shrinkage!!!" McCombs)

Just a quick change of time and a reminder...They've moved the passion plunge to Feb 16th at 12 noon instead of the 9th...so if you plan on donating, you have an extra week now! Yay!

Still on for tommorow right tech? I will post up the video as soon as I get home.

Before, during and after.

I can honestly say, that's the coldest water I've ever been in. Water temp was 39, windchill was 17 (please note all the smart people wearing coats). COLD...no doubt about it. Was for a great cause...and thank you all very much for your support!!!

[LA_MERC_sLingbLade]

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

Yeah, I left pretty quick...was freakin freezing. Sorry about that. Came home and jumped, clothes and all, in the shower

Yup,,, major shrinkage there dude... I bet he still aint come back out yet :stick

[LA_MERC_DocSparky]

Good job LT! You lunatic!

It must have not been that cold. You were more concerned about getting your hat back (which being an La Tech hat isn't worth much) rather than getting out of the water. Good to see you survived!
