Last year WRVA, Richmond afternoon talk host Jeff Katz promised to get the logo of the Special Olympics of Virginia tattooed if he was able to raise $15,000 for the organization, and he did. This year he promised to walk on 1,200-degree coals a la Tony Robbins if he could beat last year’s amount. Teaming up with his friend, local county Sheriff Karl Leonard, they raised just shy of $18,000! Pictured above is Jeff strolling the coals. Regarding next year’s challenge, Katz says, “We have not decided, but alligator wrestling is under serious consideration.” Katz raises funds for the Special Olympics in honor his favorite Special Olympian, his daughter Julia.
