Freezin' For A Reason

It all started 5 years ago, when my mom participated in her first ever Minnesota Polar Bear Plunge. Now after last weeks cold weather you would think she would skip this year, but nope she just signed up to participate again. Making this here 5 year in a row she is "taking the plunge" and will be "freezin' for a reason."
So what is the Polar Bear Plunge:
The Polar Bear Plunge is a unique opportunity for individuals, organizations and businesses to support Special Olympics athletes by jumping into frigid Minnesota waters. During the months of January through March, there are 16 opportunities across the state to take the Plunge and be freezin' for a reason: to support Special Olympics Minnesota athletes!

The photo on the left is Snowflack, the official mascot of the Plunge. In, 2013 there were over 15,000 plungers that were able to raise over $3 million! As you can see with the photos on the right my mom made me her official mascot, hoping to raise more money. Sadly, it work and she was able to raise over $400 last year. 
The Special Olympics holds a special place in our hearts, I just hope it warms up for her and her team before February 1st.
Here is the promo video from last year.
