The Cold Plunge Challenge 2026

Diving in for Answers on Women’s Health

I’m excited to take on The Cold Plunge Challenge to highlight the critical need for women’s health research.  

Health gaps disproportionately affect women, especially later in life, where underfunding leaves critical questions about menopause and aging unanswered. From menopause to chronic pain and heart health, too many issues remain misunderstood. It’s time for answers.  

By taking this plunge, I’m supporting Sinai Health’s mission to help women get the answers they deserve - advancing research that improves care and health outcomes now and for the future. 

Join me in supporting this important cause with a donation. Together, we can support research that transforms care for women today and generations to come.

Delay in Plunge

Sunday 1st Mar
I wanted to let you know that I will need to delay my fundraising plunge.  As much as I wanted it to coincide with my 60th birthday on March 7 and International Women's Day on March 8. I've been ill and won't be in shape for a plunge by next week.  It will happen later in March.  Thanks so much to those who have pledged to support Women's health at Mt. Sinai.

Thank you to my supporters
