I'm Taking the Plunge for BHI: Stepping Out of the Cold, Into Courage

Dear Friends!

For the Winter months of 2026, I will be plunging into the freezing waters as part of the 2026 BHI Winter Dipping Campaign!

Yes, it sounds intimidating (and uncomfortable!), but I’m doing this because the temporary shock of the cold water is a powerful metaphor for the incredible bravery shown by the teens at Behavioral Health Innovators (BHI) every single day.

Why I'm Dipping

Every teen entering a BHI program makes a conscious choice to step way out of their comfort zone. They choose challenge over familiarity, resilience over retreat. This leap is scary and uncomfortable, but it’s where real, life-changing growth happens.

When I take the plunge, I am stepping out in solidarity with them. The initial rush of the frigid water mirrors that moment of intense discomfort that comes before clarity and healing. My temporary shock directly funds their sustained growth and success.

Can't jump in the icy water with me? No problem! You can be a "Warm Supporter" and cheer me on from the sidelines by making a donation today. Every dollar helps push me closer to my goal and provides a lifeline for a deserving teen.
