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.

This is so important!

Tuesday 22nd Sep
Anyone who knows me, knows I landed in a psych ward 4 weeks ago. 

It is already known I have BPD, PTSD, and Post Menopause, at 46. 

The RAGE. It was unstoppable. I dont remember most of it, just flashes and it is terrifying. I was never given medication for any of this, and, I was on all the waiting lists to try to figure it out. 

It was the PERFECT STORM. 

No woman should have to go through this.  

It breaks my heart that ive done the things I have, and DO NOT REMEMEBER. 

We need change in women's health care. NOW!

Thank you to my supporters
