On Feb 23rd  2013 my world crumbled in front of me. My mom who was truely my best friend, I talked to her several times a day, the mema to my beautiful children lost her fight to cancer. 
I have never felt so helpless in my life, what could I possibly do to make her feel better, cured, etc? My husband and I talked with family and said since we couldn't help my mom we need to help others. This is where the Purple plunge comes in. We created this event 6 years ago to help other individuals with their cancer fight. The money we raise goes directly to these people. We jump in the Lake in Lake Zurich March 2 for the 6th year in a row. Is the water cold? Absolutely! Does it suck to run in and out in the beginning of March? Absolutely! However to help the 54 families by offering financial assistance makes it that much easier. My mom said to me a couple days before she died to promise her I would be ok. What?! How?!? Well the Purple Plunge is one of the reasons why I'm ok
