COLCHESTER--It may be cold--actually, freezing--but that isn't deterring some people from spending the night outdoors.

But why are the four Colchester men chillin' out in the elements until Sunday as the wind chills bring the temperature down way below zero? It's all for a good cause that they call "Freezin' for a Reason."
