Take an exhilarating plunge into the icy waters of Manvers Lake for the Rotherham Hospital and Community Charity’s Polar Plunge event. In partnership with cold water therapy experts at The Breath Connection, it takes place on Saturday 23rd November from 10.00am.
Rachael Dawes, Head of Fundraising, said: “Every plunge you take will make a real difference! It will be an unforgettable, invigorating experience and one that we hope you will share with your family, friends and colleagues. It’s something you don’t have to train for, but you will learn a new skill – the thrill of cold water dipping and how breath work can enhance your life.”
Cold water immersion and breath work can help boost immunity, improve circulation, manage pain, stress and anxiety. Signing up to a cold water plunge and learning the benefits of breath work is a great way to combat the low mood that can come with the beginning of winter.
The event is open to everyone including those who can’t swim well or have a disability. It costs £25.00 to take part and the charity would like participants to raise a minimum of £50.00. To register email trft.rhcc@nhs.net or call 01709 426821.
