Hello All

 

I thought it would be fun to take the Polar Bear swim at Coney Island this year. Its been on my bucket list for a while. 

 

They are raising money for Camp Sunshine - a camp for Children with life-threatening illnesses and their families and I would appreciate it if anyone could donate some money to them through my page.

I don't think I have told you this, but I went to camp every summer from when I was 6 weeks old (my father was the camp director) until I was 20, doing everything from filling diapers, to being a camper, working in the kitchen, being a counselor, and working on the high-ropes course. All of it was pretty amazing and it would be cool to help someone else experience that.

 

Thanks

Lily and Andrew say, "Let's get this party started right!"

 

Happy to support you and the cause, Ari.

I'll be pitching in too, Ari.  I loved my camp experiences, although I think I was something like to 12-14 when I went. 

Done.  I've seen some wonderful news stories about this camp.  Thanks for helping them, Ari!

In, though I must admit that the Crowdwise experience leaves a lot to be desired.

In! Have  a nice bath

Happy New Years everyone! 

 

The polar bear swim is just a few hours away, and I'm super excited. 

I just wanted to bump this before I took the plunge. 

Almost forgot.  Have fun.

In, Ari.  

In and done

Great cause, and awesome that you got to enjoy it yourself for so many years.  In and done, enjoy!  

Have fun, Ari!

Thanks to everyone who chipped in for this! 

I made my goal, and went in the ocean. It was cold. Drying off was actually painful. Once I got dried off I realized I was not really all that cold. Then I went in the water again.
