    Why I Plunge: Sgt. Joel Goodwin
    "As the water temperature and air temperature hovered around the freezing point, it was apparent that the worst part was the anticipation. The reason I plunge is the ultimate reward of seeing the excitement on the faces of Special Olympics Oregon athletes when they are assured the ability to compete and excel. I've seen that firsthand and the difference it makes in their lives."

    Sgt. Joel Goodwin, plunge veteran from the Corvallis Police Department
