Going All In for the Cause - Full Submerge.

I’m not just doing a quick jump in — I’ll be fully submerging and actually swimming in the water. Going all in and doing it the right way. While you’re waking up warm, I’ll be out there freezing and giving back to help raise money for a great cause. It’s going to be cold and uncomfortable, but worth it.

Choose Discomfort. Create Impact.

On Sunday, March 1, 2026, I’ll be participating in Polar Plunge Chicago to support Special Olympics Illinois and Special Children’s Charities. This event is about showing up, embracing discomfort, and pushing past what’s easy — all to create real opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

While most people stay warm, this is a chance to step up, do something uncomfortable, and help fund programs that empower people to build confidence, independence, and lifelong skills. The challenge is temporary — the impact is not.

You can help make a difference by:

  • Donating to support the cause

  • Joining the plunge at North Avenue Beach

  • Sharing this page to help spread awareness and support

Every contribution helps open doors, create opportunities, and support a community that deserves more access, inclusion, and opportunity. Thank you for being part of it.
