    900 brave individuals take the Polar Plunge in Boulder, Colorado for Alzheimer's research

    By romanmica  |  Posted January 2, 2010  |  Boulder, Colorado
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     romanmica told me, 'This was the 30th annual Polar Plunge in Boulder, but only the second time it was a fundraiser for Alzheimer's.'
    - hhanks, CNN iReport producer

    Some people celebrate the New Year by sleeping in.

     

    But in Boulder, Colorado about 900 crazy, brave, intrepid, foolhardy, generous and did we say crazy individuals took the annual New Year's Polar Plunge into freezing water to help raise money for the Alzheimer's Association.

     

    The youngest was just a few years old and the oldest plunger was 82-years-old.

     

    But they all shared one thing in common...a love of freezing cold water.

     

    OK, that's probably not right...they all shared the goal to help a worthy cause, and celebrate the New Year in a most unusual manner.
