SOMN Polar Plunge kicks off one week from today!

For all my of life physical fitness, teams and partnerships have played an incredibly important role in helping me develop my true authentic self, to find courage and the ability to feel strong beyond physical strength. Those with intellectual and physical disabilities struggle to find a place in this world of belonging and that is why I am committed to supporting Special Olympics Minnesota and the Minnesota Polar Plunge! 

"Special Olympics Minnesota is part of a global movement of people creating a new world of inclusion and community. Through athletic, health and leadership programs, SOMN aims to create a world that accepts and welcomes every single person regardless of ability or disability. All funds raised from Polar Plunge support over 8,200 athletes across the state who participate in Special Olympics programs such as Young Athletes, Unified Sports, Healthy Athletes and ALPs University." https://www.plungemn.org/about/

Every year I take the Polar Plunge to raise funds for these incredible programs of inclusion.
In one week we PLUNGE!

"Polar Plunge is a part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run movement. To further the mission of Special Olympics Minnesota, the Law Enforcement Torch Run carries the torch, representing the “Flame of Hope”, and dedicates itself to the goals of continually increasing awareness and funds for Special Olympics athletes across the state. Simply put, Polar Plunge would not exist without the dedication, efforts and service of Minnesota Law Enforcement." https://www.plungemn.org/about/
