The water will be cold…and we may be older... but we are still freezin' for an awesome reason!

I am once again looking forward to this Penguin Plunge, making an icy splash into the Atlantic  for  the Monadnock Huskies local Special Olympics program  in New Hampshire! This year’s theme is “Alice in Wonderland” and it’s going to be a grand adventure down the rabbit hole with a whole lot of fun characters!

Please donate to my Plunge. It will make a profound difference for our program supporting 21 student athletes or alumni of Monadnock Regional Middle High School. A group of individuals near and dear to me.  Special Olympics athletes participate in life-changing programs that promote physical fitness, self-confidence, and social inclusion.
