Torch Run Ontario - April Newsletter

In case you missed it...

The 2022 Polar Plunge for Special Olympics Ontario has come to an end, and together we got #FreezinForAReason and raised $346,849 and counting! Thank you for those who have continued to contribute and send in funds- and of course a big thank you to all the Plungers, donors and supporters - we can't wait to get bigger, bolder and colder in 2023!

Aimee Buckborough, a seasoned Special Olympics Ontario athlete, is well aware of the time, commitment and effort required to excel in sport. As a gold medal swimmer at Nationals, avid golfer and softball player, Aimee has always been willing to push herself outside of her comfort zone to pursue her best.

In keeping with this mindset, Aimee decided to try something new this year by participating in the Polar Plunge. With the water temperature drastically lower than your average community pool, Aimee was met with some initial nerves before her first Polar Plunge experience, but that didn't stop her!
