The Beauty Queen and The Polar Bear

A Polar Bear?? Yes,  I'm talking about the polar bear plunge event.  An event held in the winter where participants enter the ocean despite the frigid temperature.

Every time I saw these people taking the plunge on TV, I often asked myself , what possesses these people to this??  Well,  last week when my friend and co-blogger, Helen Troncoso announced she was taking the plunge, I must admit that my first thought was that she had lost her mind.  Most of the time at events I see Helen wearing her crown and satchel  and being Ms. NY Belleza Latina 2011 (smiling).

After taking a little time to process the announcement, I realized that it takes a lot of courage to do this sort of thing on purpose, and for the reason she is doing it, it makes the whole ordeal even more admirable and worthwhile. So I must tip my hat to her and her team for doing this awesome event that most of us would cower at the thought.   I'm sure Helen will be wearing her crown at this event too. LOL ~~ Kudos to you Helen and #Team WOW!!!!!

Helen and her team, Team #WOW, will be taking the polar plunge on  Saturday, March 3, 2012 at the North Hempstead Beach Park in Pt. Washington, NY to help out the Special Olympics New York Incorporated.
