I’ll get a better post up with a lot more detail once I’m able to get a little more time. I just didn’t want to keep you in suspense any longer.
Thank you to everyone who was so generous and donated. All told, with online, offline and matching funds, we raised a staggering $3522.11. Overall the event raised a little over $26k. That’s an awesome amount of money and the Special Olympics of Michigan will make it stretch. However, they are not done yet – there are more plunges happening this around Michigan. In fact, a guy who is plunging because of me is Jeremy Lance – you should donate to his plunge at http://www.firstgiving.com/jer_.
In short, here is a short video showing the polar plunge itself.
Again – thank you to everyone who donated!
