Craving the Cold

Most people that know me know very well that I'm pretty happy to get in cold water (most of the time).  This time I have an extra special reason.  I'm excited to help out the very special athletes to continue their programs, training and events.  I'll be jumping in the water as often as I can to acclimatise myself.  The ocean is still pretty warm now but it won't be long until I'll be freezing, for a really good reason.  
( Thanks for the photo bomb Amanda )

I’m freezin’ for a reason!

This year, I’m taking the plunge - literally. I’m jumping into icy water as part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run’s Polar Plunge, raising funds for Special Olympics in Australia.

Why? Because every Australian deserves the opportunity to experience the joy, confidence and connection that sport brings.

Special Olympics Australia provides year-round sports training and competition for people with intellectual disability and/or autism. Through sport, athletes build skills, friendships, independence and belief in themselves - and that impact extends far beyond the playing field.

By supporting my Polar Plunge, you’re helping:

  • Fund inclusive sports programs across Australia
  • Provide coaching, equipment and competition opportunities
  • Create communities where everyone belongs
  • Break down barriers and build a more inclusive Australia

Yes, it will be cold … very cold. But it’ll be worth it!

If you can, please donate and help me reach my fundraising goal. Every dollar makes a difference.

Together, we’re freezin’ for a reason.
