Last year I did something pretty crazy. Anyone I spoke with at WebFest certainly told me so. To raise funds for the Special Olympics, I did a Polar Plunge into Aurora Reservoir. If you're not familiar with a Polar Plunge, what they do is cut a hole in the ice covering the body of water you are willingly going to jump into. It was cold, but also a lot of fun. And with help from many in the Domain Industry, I also raised nearly $1,000 for Special Olympics.
Apparently I am truly crazy as I am doing it again next month. This year I'm shooting for $1,500 and once again I am asking my domain colleagues and friends to help me hit (and maybe surpass) that goal. Even if it's only $5, it has a big impact.
