Hello everyone,
First of all, thank you for taking the time to visit my polar plunge page. This year is a special year with our proud state of Minnesota hosting the 2026 USA Games with over 3000 athletes competing in 16 sports. I have had the honor of serving as a board of director member and Co-Chair of the athletes advisory council for the 2026 Games. As a result I want to dedicate my plunge to this wonderful event by raising $6,000 dollars which also includes my annual fundraising walk.
This year's walk will be a little different then previous years. It will be called 26 for 26, I will walk a literal marathon from the National Sports Complex to Huntington Bank Stadium, the two host sites for the games. More details on the route will be posted on my events page on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/events/2316169348876134/?active_tab=about). Also this walk will include some fun incentives for donating to my plunge.
First, if you donate $20 or more you can honor an athlete competing in the USA Games, where I will write their name on my flag cape which I will wear during my walk. I will provide a link in a thank you email I will send after you donate. The deadline to complete the forum will be March 20th.
Second, for every $100 donated I will add a mile towards another fundraising walk before the games.
It’s been truly an honor for you to have read my bio and I invite you to join with me in answering the call by donating to my plunge/fundraising walk. Our greatness is created by one man but rather a collective selfless people like you, one plunge/mile at a time!
May your day be as wonderful as your generosity!
Thank You
