Annual Chicago Polar Plunge Brings Out Daredevils Raising Money For Special Olympics

Video at link of hundreds of people plunging into Lake Michigan on this below freezing Sunday for charity
I have lived here a large portion of my life and have never even thought about going out to see this yearly event let alone take the plunge
Firefighters said two spectators were taken the hospital, but all participants who braved the icy water were fine, crazy but healthy after plunging
-1 will be our low tonight in Chicago and could break a record so good thing the event was this at 10 this morning not tomorrow
I guess
