Today was the day I jumped into Lake Champlain for the third time! The Penguin Plunge is held in 3 different locations in Vermont during the middle of winter. It raises funds for the Vermont Special Olympics. The Burlington Penguin Plunge raised over $400,000 alone. I'm proud to take part in this event and appreciate all the support and donations I get for it. For this year's plunge the air temperature was 23
°F and the water was 32
°F. In the moment I tried not to think about it at all which helped me be able to plunge. Check out some pictures from the event:

| After the fact - my clothes were already frozen |

| Officially a penguin for another year |
