The annual event has gone from less than 100 participants 25 years ago to more than 7,000 this year, helping to raise more than $2 million for Special Olympics New Jersey.
This past weekend I was proud to be a part of the Special Olympics New Jersey Polar Bear Plunge 2012 in Seaside Heights. In case you missed it, enjoy some of the pictures we took along the way!
Last year I was approached by a friend who had a crazy idea: to jump into the Atlantic Ocean in the middle of winter. The crazier part was that I accepted her challenge. A year has passed and I will be doing the exact same thing next weekend.
