I have never done a plunge before, but my New Year’s Resolution for 2012 was to cross at least 10 things off my Bucket List, and doing a plunge was on the list. When I saw the poster for this event, I knew I had to do it. When I was in graduate school, I was a nanny for twins that were born at 26.5 weeks. They are doing awesome today, thanks to CCMC. I am doing this in honor of Sally and Sophie! Kimberly will be doing the Beach Plunge and hopes to raise $500.
