The water will be cold… but the tea party will be HOT!

I am excited to once again plunge into the icy Atlantic at the Penguin Plunge for Special Olympics New Hampshire!  This will be my 10th year plunging and supporting such a wonderful organization.  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 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.  Whether you’re an Alice, a Queen of Hearts, or a White Rabbit type, together, we can create a world where everyone has the chance to shine.

I THANK YOU profoundly for your support!

Received the following note from one of my donors and wanted to share.  Plunging this year in memory and celebration of Donnie!

 

 

The Special Olympics holds a special place in my heart.  My brother, who passed away in 2024, had special needs and this was something very dear to him also.  His name is Donnie.  The strongest, bravest, most positive guy I have ever known.  He fought cancer for 18 months and did it with only Tylenol until the last month but by then the cancer had progressed throughout his body.

 

We miss him every day.  The folks at the nursing facility that he was in for the last 6 months are constantly messaging with me to say how much they miss him and check on us.  He worked at our Walmart store for 22 years.  On pay day he would buy donuts to put in the breakroom for his co-workers.  He was a janitor/greeter.  They do donuts for Donnie constantly.  Even our high school principal has donated a few times since he passed for Donuts for Donnie. 

 

Thank you

feedback from one of my donors - awesome!

As you may know my 21-year-old daughter is disabled.    She only got a couple of chances to attend any Special Olympics activities.   But I can tell you that the day she got a little coaching and dribbled the basketball down the court and made 2 baskets in a row was completely life changing.   So again – thank you!

Thank you to my Sponsors
