Hello! Welcome to my Polar Plunge Fundraising page! Happy to have you here!

Why I'm Taking the Plunge:

I’m doing my first Polar Plunge for Ginny and Viv, two incredible women who have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I supported them as they competed in the Special Olympics, and those games meant the world to them.
Ginny and Viv no longer compete, but the joy, confidence, and sense of belonging they found through Special Olympics should be available to every athlete. That’s why I’m plunging.
Am I excited to voluntarily jump into freezing water? Absolutely not. But a few minutes of cold shock is worth it if it helps athletes feel celebrated, included, and part of something meaningful.
My goal is $500. Will you help me honor “the girls” and support Special Olympics athletes, while I question all my life choices?
