<\/p>\n Lehigh Valley Polar Plunge moving to Coca-Cola Park due to Delaware River being frozen in Easton area<\/a><\/p>\n
So far, Ahern has raised more than $24,000 since she started participating.<\/p>\n
She is a super plunger, meaning she will be jumping in once an hour.<\/p>\n
“It’s a great environment and I would recommend to anyone to do it,” said Ahern.<\/p>\n
It is an environment Davine and James Regan have been apart of for more than 10 years.<\/p>\n
“It’s great to see. We have the same group supporting us all the time. We have quite the fan club that comes out to watch. Not a lot of people plunge with us, but on average I think we get about 30 plungers in,” said James Regan.<\/p>\n
The two oversee team Caitlyn, named after their daughter who is a Special Olympics athlete.<\/p>\n
“I also feel like we’re blessed. We have such a wonderful family and wonderful friends and great community that always supports us,” said Davine Regan.<\/p>\n
Team Caitlyn has raised more than $100,000 in its ten plus years.<\/p>\n
Money from the event allows Special Olympics athletes to play sports for free.<\/p>\n
“I feel as though I just want everyone to have fun. I want it to be community-based; I want our friends to enjoy. I want to see the laughter and smile on my daughter’s face,” said Davine Regan.<\/p>\n
