Will work to figure out how to get the link, the Facebook event is private and you have to be invited. Below is the info posted right now and will do my best to keep this thread updated.

Brian will be updating the website www.bigheadwilson.com and the link to make a donation.
Registration from 11:00 to 1:00pm at Gail's Harley Davidson and the ride leaves at 1:30pm!
He only asks that you make at least a $24 donation. You will have a blast and receive a limited edition FFRR ride shirt...long sleeve.

This will be the 3rd annual FFRR to benefit the Special Olympics. The ride is open to everyone in every type of vehicle. If you are not on a motorcycle, in a Jeep, driving a convertible, just make sure you roll the windows down to be a party of the fun. We will start at Gail's HD and be fully escorted by the LSPD and JACO SO to Longview Beach for a photo and media op. We will then continue the escorted ride to Stuey McBrews in downtown LS for a one of a kind auction and fun! If you can make the ride...don't miss the auction and post party. Ask those who have attend the events in the past...they won't miss the fun. So put it on your calendar and open your heart and wallet to help the Special Olympics!

Here is a message from BigHead:
"
Hello fellow Team Bighead members! Yes, you are a member of Team Bighead and can you believe it's that time of year for the Super Plunge and the Freezin for a Reason Ride. Yep, because of your continued and generous support I'm doing it again. I said I would be back for 2013 if we reached the goal of $24,000 last year. Well we crushed it and raised almost $30K!!!

It is truly a blessing to have friends and family like each of you in my life. I am amazed at your compassion to help the Special Olympic Athletes. As a bonus to your compassion, you get to watch me jump in the freezing waters of Longview Lake 24 times in 24 hours...LOL. As painful as the punishment is to my body, it is the best feeling in the world to have the support of each of you, so thank you.

Why do I do this crazy event, it's simple. In our current world we are faced with enough pain, suffering, and tragedy, it's time for something positive. Lately we have witnessed too much sadness, it's time for compassion. If you have had the opportunity to witness the joy and happiness on the faces of the athletes who participate in the Special Olympics you are familiar with how contagious it can be. I can't think of a better way to spread that level of happiness and joy, than to raise money to help these athletes.

I have said it every year, but it's true. I don't want to take the people and abilities I have been blessed with for granted. I am simply blessed with the friends and family in my life, like yourselves, and I get to do a job I love. Because of the blessing I have in my life, I feel it's only right to give back and help others like the Special Olympics. The athletes need to be able to do the things they love, like the events they participate in through the Special Olympics. The Special Olympics others the athletes the inclusion and acceptance, like we all want out of life. It builds self confidence and self esteem, just like any sport does with any athlete.

So, if you feel as strong about helping out as I do, I am here again to offer a couple of options. First, you could join me and do the Super Plunge! If 24 times is too much, you can certainly step up and do the single Polar Bear Plunge on Saturday January 26th. Join the 1,000+ plungers who brave the water for the single plunge. If you don't like the idea of jumping into a frozen lake, no worries you are on Team Bighead! I will jump in the lake with the support of my fellow team members. You can simply make a donation at http://somo.kintera.org/superplungekc/bigheadwilson in any amount!

Also, on January 12th, we will be hosting another Freezin for a Reason Ride! Yep, it's back for the 3rd year and this year will be better than last year. We will have a BIG auction at the end of the ride with amazing auction items. Keep an eye out on the website www.bigheadwilson.com for more information about the event and auction. If you would like to participate, please reply and I will provide more details if you not familiar. Bottom line, you won't want to miss the fun!

Again, I can't thank you enough for your continued support of my Super Plunge efforts and the Special Olympics. If it wasn't for each of you, I would not have reached the top of ALL Super Plungers in the US as the top cop. If WE reach this year's goal WE, Team Bighead, will have raised $100,000 in just 5 years! Simply amazing.

So, please help spread the word and encourage others to join Team Bighead and be a part of the movement each you have over the years! Take care and have a WONDERFUL holiday season. Please continue to watch the donations come in and climb to our goal of $35,000!

Much Love,

Brian "Bighead" Wilson
