The Cold Plunge Challenge WMD 2026

Diving in for answers on women’s health

I’m excited to take The Cold Plunge Challenge because women deserve answers. Menopause influences 70% of age-related diseases, yet less than 1% of preclinical aging studies worldwide consider menopause in their research. It's time to change that. 

I'm plunging to support Sinai Health, one of the only academic centres in the world to make women's health a strategic priority. Together, we can help advance the research that will improve care for women before, during and after menopause—and across every stage of life. 

Please support my Cold Plunge Challenge with a donation. Every gift helps accelerate the discoveries women have waited far too long for.

Help Women’s heath

Saturday 3rd Oct
We all have had a special lady in our lives that needed help with their health. Little research has been done in many areas. Help me raise money so more ladies in our lives will get the help they need. 

Thank you to my supporters
