Torturing crips in the name of charity. Abominable.

Honey that ain't a polar plunge. In Wisconsin and Minnesota they cut the ice on the water and post someone to fish people out if the get disoriented. I think they're nuts but you guys are doing our kids swimming lessons temperature wise. I know lessons are early summer (end of May ) in the early morning. If the temperature is 65 lessons are on.

What a good cause. I just love you guys at News channel 8. You don't just report "the story" you take action, you get involved, you encourage others to get involved, you change LIVES. Each and everyone of you do so much good in Florida and in our world. And we are so very proud of you. ALL of you.
