Blakely FIT’s Polar Plunge 2015 for
Special OlympicsTHE FULL MONTY
Special OlympicsTHE FULL MONTY
My brother Matt and his Motorola colleagues, Matt, Nick and I enjoy the warmth of the first responders tent (sponsored my Motorola Solutions Foundation) as we discuss strategy for plunging all the way. (“Launch yourself into the lake with out hesitation” is the winner.)
Safety crews (in dry suits because they, are not insane) search and remove for sharp objects that could impale plungers.

They had to dig the ice out with a back hoe.
This is nuts.


Bagpipes lead that charge by walking into the water first.



Celebrities, Lady Gaga (on video), Vince Vaughn and Taylor Kinney make us all proud by plunging all the way.

The gates are open. This is happening.

(You’ll notice on the video another plunger and I collide – he was trying to get out I was trying to get in – ridiculous!)

Motorola’s commitment to helping those that help so many of us. Slogan is beautifully caught by Special Olympics photographers as Matt exits the water.

You can see the ice on Matt’s head and the snow falling from the sky.


Jumping in the lake was definitely a rush but none of it would have been possible with out the incredible volunteers!!!
