I’m Freezin’ for a Reason!

I am so excited to be making an icy splash into the Atlantic at the High School Plunge for Special Olympics New Hampshire! 

Please donate to my Plunge.  It will make a profound difference in the lives of people with intellectual disabilities across the Granite State. Special Olympics athletes participate in life-changing programs that promote physical fitness, self-confidence, and social inclusion.

Every dollar you give goes toward creating a more inclusive, accepting, and empowered New Hampshire.  Together, we can create a world where everyone has the chance to shine.

Thank you!

P.S. Donate $100 or more and you qualify for two free tickets to the NH Fisher Cats 2024 Opening Game (based on availability)!

The why...

Wednesday 10th Jan
Good afternoon!
I thought I would reach out to you today because I am participating in the Penguin Plunge this year to help support the athlete's of the Special Olympics of NH. This organization has been near and dear to my heart for a very long time, as my cousin, Chris, is in a number of Special Olympic teams in Manchester and has been for decades. I have started this plunge journey because of him 18 years ago!
This year I will be plunging into the frigid Atlantic for additional reasons. I am a teacher in Londonderry, NH, and plunging with a team of students to help raise funds for the several unified teams here at the high school.  I have had the pleasure to attend several unified games throughout my career as a teacher and I will tell you they are the BEST sports games you could attend. The gymnasium erupts when these students (some of them are mine!) enter during pep-rallies and that is how you know unified athletics touches everyone's heart and soul.
30% of your donation will go directly to our Unified sport teams and 70% will go back to the thousands of NH athletes like my cousin, Chris. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
