2011 Polar Bear Plunge!

Pre-Plunge with my "suit" on. I love tearaway pants.

So THIS is what I got myself into on Saturday morning.  The temperature in the air was in the high 40's, with water at 37 degrees -- a whole one degree warmer than last year's plunge.

I was among 151 plungers who took a stroll into the frigid water as part of the fundraiser for the YMCA of Centre County.  The things we do for charity. :-p

The State College Young Professionals (who I plunged with) won the award for the most money raised by a group/organization for the second year in a row with $5,132!  Yay!  Almost $2,000 more in donations than last year! Woo hoo!

Thank you to everyone who sponsored me with donations! Thank you to OhMiBod for being awesome and sponsoring me! So of course I gave them a body part for the donation.

In total, $40,500 was raised this year!  I'm excited for next year!

Post-Plunge. Cold, wet, and still smiling.

And hopefully I'll be healthier for next year's Plunge.  I think I may have angered my cold cuz I feel like ass as I write this post.  Ugh.  It was for a good cause....
