Special Olympics are hoping that this year’s event will be just as popular with so that much needed funds for the organisation and its athletes can be raised. The sports charity is gearing up to send 26 athletes to Austria next March, to the Special Olympics World Winter Games.
Speaking at the launch of the Polar Plunge, Special Olympics Ireland’s Ulster Regional Director, Shaun Cassidy said:
The Polar Plunge is a freezing but fun event which we hope the people of Co. Donegal and beyond will get behind. This special opportunity allows people to take part in a meaningful initiative during the season of goodwill. We would encourage everyone to sign up today to help raise funds for our inspirational athletes.
