    I recently participated in the 2015 Polar Plunge which was organized by the Ancient Order of Hibernians. This event took place on January 11, 2015 in Long Branch, with other supporters for a good cause.

    I participated in support of two families from my hometown of River Edge. The first was for Luke Abbadessa, a two-year old boy who was recently diagnosed with a childhood cancer called neuroblastoma. His parents Vanessa and Daniel were unable to return to their teaching positions this year in the West New York School System, in order to care for their son.

    The second was Katherine Taveras, a 45 year-old woman who was diagnosed in 2014 with Stage III Pancreatic Cancer. Between 2005 and 2008 Katherine’s son Leandro fought Leukemia and is now a freshman in college. Katherine is now in a terrible fight for her own life.

    The Polar Plunge is an important fundraising event. The families benefit greatly from the community participation. Funds will be used for loss of income, medical expenses and care, travel expenses and out-of-pocket deductibles.
