Oakridge Challenge - Training with Mike!
Donation protected
By MIKE BRAID
So in the past few days I have been called out to compete in the Cold Water Challenge. I have watched numerous videos of staff, students, coaches, parents etc from Oakridge plunge in to Wolf Lake. I have not done it. Two reasons, I don't want to and what is the purpose of this whole challenge! So I started thinking.......scarey! Here is my challenge to the Oakridge community. I have a selfish goal of wanting to train as many kids at Oakridge as I can. Training is injury prevention and if done right it makes my job easier and our kids safer. I know a lot of people can not afford to pay for their kids to go to a class or a program. I want to raise money to allow middle school athletes/kids to train this summer for free! I need $900 for 12 sessions 2x per week for 6 weeks to get our middle school kids moving!!! So, if you want me to jump in Wolf Lake help me find the money to do this! As a matter of fact if we can raise the money I will do a polar plunge as well. Now, help me find sponsors that would be willing to offset the cost of training our kids and I will gladly jump into the lake. SO shake the pockets of those who want to help make a difference in the lives of the kids that go to Oakridge. Message me, call me, whatever it takes to make this happen.
