A sure cure for the winter doldrums, the Detroit Polar Plunge at Milliken State Park will involve 500 or so brave "plungers" who consentingly jump into the Detroit River -- a frigid 30 degrees Fahrenheit or so -- all in the name of a good cause.
The Feb. 16 event will benefit Special Olympics Michigan, which hopes to raise $200,000 at the Detroit event and more than $1 million across the state of Michigan at 28 Polar Plunge events.
We endorse it for all able bodied, and fearless, Detroit ladies and gentlemen.
