Another great Leap

Dear Editor:

We would once again like to thank the very brave and generous plungers/fundraisers at this year's Leprechaun Leap (formerly Passion Plunge) held last Wednesday, March 13 at Hendrick's Head Beach, Southport.

It seemed like a benign afternoon until arriving at the beach and facing a stiff SW wind directly onshore. There were no double dippers that day as a result. We are fairly sure that this was the 17th annual event as we believe the first one was 2003 and is the original cold water fundraiser in the region. All money raised is for the benefit and use of our local Special Olympians who are aided by their teacher and coach, Toby LeConte. Thanks one and all for your participation.

Tom and Sue Witt
