Join Me in Supporting Special Olympics Illinois at the Polar Plunge® Chicago! This year, I'm excited to kick off my journey as a participant in the 2025 Chicago Marathon by taking the plunge for an incredible cause! I'll be doing a belly-flop in the icy waters of Lake Michigan as part of the Polar Plunge® Chicago—one of Chicago’s most iconic winter fundraising events. This event, presented by Special Children's Charities, benefits Special Olympics Illinois—an organization that empowers individuals with intellectual & developmental disabilities through year-round sports training and competitions. By participating in the Polar Plunge, I’m proud to help raise the funds needed to support these incredible athletes, providing them with the resources they need to succeed both in sports and in life. Not only am I gearing up for this wild, chilly challenge, but I’m also deeply committed to making a difference... so committed I’m going to run 26.2 miles with TeamSCC on October 12th (I have never even run a half marathon, so stay tuned) Your generous support will help create more opportunities for these athletes to thrive; showing their strength, determination, and resilience on and off the field. How You Can Help: I’m asking for your support as I take the plunge! Every contribution, no matter how big or small, helps make an impact. Together, we can help bring the joy of sports and inclusivity to even more athletes. Thank you for supporting this important cause. Stay tuned for updates on both the Polar Plunge and my marathon training (this may be more entertaining than the Plunge) as I work toward these two big milestones!
