Why I Plunge
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. I've seen first hand how these programs give confidence and just shared fun to the community they service! It is truly an incredible cause and I just hope one day this program is free to all that want to join!
There are three easy ways to support my plunging efforts:
-

-
Join my team and take the plunge with me at North Avenue Beach on March 1, 2026.
