This afternoon you can jump into some ice cold water for the Polar Plunge to raise money for Special Olympics Manitoba.

All the money raised from the Polar Plunge in Dauphin stays in the Parkland to support the local programs and about 50 Parkland Special Olympic athletes.

We checked in with Tristen Osborn, from Team CKDM, to see how he’s feeling heading into these freezing moments.

“I’ve always kind of liked the cold. So I think feeling like a popsicle for a bit is going to be fantastic."

Alex De Vries, from Team CKDM, is the one who organized the team.

“I haven’t actually got involved as being the person part of the fundraiser in a while. I’ve supported other people in their fundraisers. But, I just wanted to be a part of something and I just thought, spring is here, why not jump into some ice cold water.”

Dallas Jansen, from Team CKDM, is happy to be a part of the fundraiser.

“I think I’m looking forward to drying off and warming up after, haha no but, I’m just looking forward to raising money to help a great cause.”

There is still time to register by going online to www.plungemanitoba.com, or you can walk up this afternoon for registration forms at 12pm.

Even if you don’t want to jump into the cold water you can still come down to Credit Union Place and say hi to Team CKDM.
