I’m Jumping Into Freezing Water So You Don’t Have To
I’m participating in the Polar Plunge to support Special Olympics Illinois, which does incredible work for athletes with intellectual disabilities. I, on the other hand, will be doing something deeply unpleasant in February. If you donate, you’re supporting inclusion, community, and life changing programs. If you don’t, that’s fine, but I will still be cold, wet, and questioning my life choices. Either way, thank you for being here. Please enjoy this moment.
On Sunday, March 1, 2026 I will participate in Polar Plunge® Chicago for Special Olympics Illinois presented by Special Children's Charities, one of the city's most popular winter fundraising events! I am excited to take on the challenge and jump into Lake Michigan's chilly waters to support thousands of individuals with intellectual disabilities. With your support, people with intellectual disabilities have the opportunity to discover new strengths, abilities, and accomplishments.
