This was my first plunge! Yes, it was during the polar vortex of 2019 and my first time in Lake Michigan! Those are mounds of snow & ice because it was so cold that year they had to make a hole for us to jump in. It was a mere 19 degrees but with windchill it was 8 degrees and that's a maybe. It was so cold we could only get a few for a group shot afterwards because people scattered like you wouldn't believe since it was so cold.
On Sunday, March 3, 2024 I will participate in the 2024 Chicago Polar Plunge, one of the city's most popular winter fundraising events! I am excited to take on the challenge of the Chicago Polar Plunge and jump into Lake Michigan’s chilly waters to support thousands of Chicagoans who participate in Special Olympics Chicago/Special Children’s Charities programs. With your support, people with intellectual disabilities have the opportunity to discover new strengths, abilities, and accomplishments.
