A Little Maine Insanity

Hello Friends and Family, 

Ok, as you may know, I have committed to jumping into the frigid waters of the Atlantic Ocean on December 31-again.  My father-in-law is planning on doing so as well, but I had to commit to putting my head all the way under.
 
I know. This is insane. What am I doing jumping into the near freezing waters of Maine ? Well, reducing carbon emissions, stopping our dependence on fossil fuels, and reinvigorating the American economy is important to me for the next generation, so I am joining in an effort to raise awareness about the reality of global warming and the benefits of fighting against it. 

I just read this morning that 2015 is the year by which some scientists estimate the Arctic Sea could be ice free in the summer (polar bears need sea ice to hunt). Polar Bears are my totem.
 
So, please join in and support my insanity. Last year, I raised the most money (as a non-employee), so "Thank you very much" for that. 
 
If you are inspired  to donate again this year you can go to: http://supporters.nrcm.org/polar_plunge
 
There will be plenty of documentation so that you may see your support in action. 
 
Loads of good wishes to you and your families for the holidays!

Thank you, 

Heather
