Ben Bartlett
Hi! Welcome to my Poler Plunge Page. My name is Ben and I have done the plunge for 4 years. 1 during Covid(2021) and 2 in persons (2023-2024) and 2025 will be virtual. I do it for my brother who has Down syndrome and has verbal apraxia(communication disorder). He has had these issues for his entire life. Also, I am a Boy Scout for Troop 3327 out of Waconia Minnesota. I follow the scout law and I have a couple of points that I share about the scout law towards people with disabilities Helpful. Even though people arent the nicest to people that are different than the normal world. You should help out a person always even if they are different. Friendly. You should always be a friend to someone with a disability. It would be a great decision you wont regret. Kind. Even when others are mean. Be kind in the world. The world already has enough hate. Cheerful. Even when they do something good. Encourage them to do more and be happy towards them. Even though you probably could have done it at 5 years old. They arent as developed as you. Brave. Brave as I take on the plunge. Thanks for looking at my page. Consider donating. - Ben Bartlett
