Usually it's not a good thing if someone tells you to go jump in a lake.  But this is the exception.   People all around the country are taking the plunge for Landon. It’s all to help the family of a 5-month-old boy with cancer and it has inspired thousands across the country to submerge themselves in cold bodies of water.

I took the plunge last night and let me tell you the water is chilly!  

Normally with this challenge you are to call out a couple of people and challenge them to take the plunge while offering a monetary donation to the family.  If the people do the plunge within 24hrs you donate your money to the family.   We've got thousands of listeners.  I want you all to get involved.  I'm giving you all 24hrs.  If at least three people post their plunge on my facebook wall by tomorrow morning, I'll donate $50.

This is a great opportunity to help a family that's going through an extremely hard time and  have a little fun doing it.   GO JUMP IN  A LAKE!

(Full disclosure:  This was actually take 2.  My butt crack was hanging out while running to the water in the first shot. LOL!)
