Anybody here plunge ?? the big event this year is FEB 26.
I am talking about the biggest & best one in the country if not the world.
Pt. Pleasant Beach N.J. for N.J. SPECIAL OLYMPICS.
This will be year 6 for me. It is truly an experience if you've never done.
And it really is for a very good cause. I am not even really much of a cold weather person but this is the exception. I've been in 33 deg. water when it was 29 deg. out. and all other extremes. there is much to do on Jenks boards that day as they open many places up. good food good people, free stuff.
Also a small but very clean, interesting & nice aquarium. My wife & kids love coming with. ( Although I plunge without them, the kids want to but the inherent threats from the wife keep me from letting them)
NJ101.5 hosts it.
I was interviewed for the Coors lite website one year, that was cool.
By far the greatest privelege I have had to date is being one of four fellows
to first plunge and then go back in carrying a gentleman paralized from waist down who raised funds himself last year to donate & insisted on going in himself.
There were not too many dry eyes when we carried him in.
Point Pleasant is special to me as when I was younger I lived a couple doors down from the Coast Guard base right on the Manasquan Inlet.
Anyone who does it let me know, I would be glad to hook up.
If you want to try it go to www.njpolarplunge.org for the info.
It's not just a bunch of drunk wierdos looking for an excuse to be stupid.
This is a real chance to raise money for people who can use it.
There is no one type,style,form of person...It's all types trust me.
Any takers ??
