The Cold Plunge Challenge 2026

We're diving in for answers on women's health

We're 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.
