That’s exactly what these brave individuals are going to do at the very first 2025 Super Plunge to raise funds for Special Olympics Maine! 

I was lucky enough to talk to my girl, Ashley Wade about this exciting event!

Ashley is the Chief Deputy in Ogunquit and a vital part of this event. She told me the event is taking place from March 29-30 at the Norseman Resort in Ogunquit, Maine.

And it’s not just about the cold, it’s about pushing your limits and supporting a cause that is so near and dear to all of us here in the state of Maine.
