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.
