TAKING THE PLUNGE AGAIN
CLICK HERE TO DONATE
Not only did I jump into the frosty waters of the Ohio River on that cold February morning, I have done it every year since. Not only was I able to accomplish my goal, I was able to help out a worthy cause. On February 26th I will once again jump in to the chilly water as part of this year’s Polar Bear Plunge.

| Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle |
As part of the festivities that surround the Polar Bear Plunge for Special Olympics there is a costume contest. I have become pretty popular amongst the regulars that attend the annual event for my creative costumes that I have come up with.

| Sonny and Cher |
The third year I went all out and turned myself into Sonny and Cher. I endured an eyebrow wax, shaved half of my chest, and grew a moustache that would make Tom Selleck and Sam Elliot both stand up and cheer, and then shaved half of it off.

| MR AND MRS POTATO HEAD |
Last year I convinced my girlfriend “Amy” to jump into the river with me. She is a huge fan of Mr. Potato Head so the two of us went as Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head.
Starting with the year I was Sonny and Cher I decided that growing a mustache would become part of the ritual. Over the last few years it has evolved into a full blown beard. This year I have not shaved my face since October 16th. I have been called such names as Grizzly Addams, Yukon Cornelius or “That guy from The Hangover” Zack Galifianakis. Now when people ask, “What’s up with the crazy beard?”, I explain to them about the Polar Bear Plunge and The Special Olympics
