Boulder polar plunge for a good cause.
Hey all I am going to partake in the polar plunge in Boulder and could use some donations. This is in support of the special olympics and I need to raise a minimum of 85 dollars. A friend of mine and I and a few members from the RMFTC are doing this and anyone else willing to partake in the plunge is more than welcome. I made a page for the donations here. Thanks in advance! https://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/ ... lar-plunge

As the father of a son with cerebral palsy, a personal thank you for doing this and a small donation sent. One piece of advice.....wear baggy shorts! :)

Thanks Justin, I never knew they did it in the sound. That would be a cold swim for sure!

Re: Boulder polar plunge for a good cause.
Lots of times it was the only place to go swimming, esp once I moved to Bellingham. I don't know if they do many polar bear events up there. We didn't go much in the winter, but a 43 degree dip felt pretty good on a hot summer day.

Re: Boulder polar plunge for a good cause.
Thanks! It is going to be a busy weekend for me. I am sure the others in the team will bring their cameras. I am also glad I wasn't in the Colorado springs plunge as one of the members did that one and it was the weekend of the blizzard. LOL
I got my Sundays mixed up. This one I go pick up parts in the same area to get my engine swap project organized.
