Freezin' for a Reason

Last weekend Kirby braved the cold breezy air and participated in the Myrtle Beach Polar Plunge. NMBM school raised about $6,000 (for Special Olympics) to see a few teachers and some students run into the Atlantic Ocean in the middle of winter.




Everyone was stuffed into the warm basement of a hotel until the DJ let the herd of entergetic people out onto the beach. Everyone stripped off their clothes and when the bullhorn blew... there was madness!!






Here's a video from a local news cast of the event. I can't get the link to work, so you'll have to copy and paste the address into your web browser...
