Donate to Support RingotheScorpio's "Polar Plunge" for Special Olympics
Thanks... 11 months ago

Thanks to everyone. Pledges have come to double my goal. My team has also raised team donations via a donation box at Starbucks. We have not counted it but the girls both say the box is “very heavy.” Will let you all know how it goes when I get back from the lake.

Take the Polar Plunge (read all 7 entries…)
4 Hours.... 11 months ago

Ok, so we’re making a big breakfast at home, and leaving at 9AM. The plunge itself is at Noon.

At home our outdoor temp is 16.5 degrees. According to the weather report it is currently 7 degrees at Lake George with a windchill of 10 degrees. The report said the wind was calm.

A few hours for the temp to go up a little. Of course the water will be warmer than the air.

I think as of now I am more excited than nervous.

30ish Hours and counting... 11 months ago

Well, we are closer to “Plunge Time”. Tomorrow at 1200 Noon…

I have a waterproof camera… plenty of towels… a bathrobe… my swimsuit… supportive family [who will also have the remote starter to the car]... And two team mates joining me.

WOW! Excited and Nervous both!

[* Thank you to the kind 43er who made an UBER generous pledge. I’ve missed having the time to read your posts. I was shocked at your generosity. Thank you so much. *]
