Mike vs The Ice Bath: Round Two for Hospice

Participating in BNI Otago Ice Bath Challenge 2026

Dunedin, Otago

Last year I voluntarily sat in a tub of ice water for Hospice. Apparently I didn't learn my lesson.

So, once again, I'm taking part in the BNI Octagon Ice Bath Challenge to raise funds for the incredible Otago Community Hospice.

For anyone who hasn't experienced an ice bath, imagine jumping into the Southern Ocean in the middle of winter, then deciding to stay there because your friends donated money and are now watching.

While I'll only be uncomfortable for a few minutes, Hospice supports local families through some of the most difficult times in their lives. Every dollar raised helps provide care, comfort and support when it matters most.

If you'd like to support a great cause and enjoy the thought of me questioning my life choices in freezing cold water, I'd really appreciate a donation.

BNI Otago Ice Bath Challenge 2026

This is BNI Octagon's fourth annual Ice Bath Challenge fundraiser, taking the plunge for Otago Community Hospice.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
