What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
This past December/January, I participated in the Annual New Year's Day Newport Polar Bear Plunge to benefit A Wish Come True, Inc. Not once, but twice, I donned my bikini and enthusiastically dove into the frigid 38 degree Atlantic Ocean waters on two bitter winter days. It was crazy but worth raising money and awareness of such an incredible local cause.
