Diving In for Lou – 5 Year Remembrance
In November of 2014, I met Lou Martinelli. At the time, I had no idea how much that day would mean. Lou became my mentor, but more importantly, he became my friend and confidant. We worked together for a year before he retired, excited to finally enjoy the life he had worked so hard for.
Just six months later, Lou was diagnosed with a terrible disease. In 2017, he asked me to join this plunge, and my response was immediate: "Of course, Lou, I will do it for you." That first year, I took the plunge alone, but together we raised over $5,000. Over the years, more people joined, and our impact grew.
Then life took a pause during COVID, but now—five years since losing my friend—I am back. And I’m doing it for Lou.
This cause is deeply personal to me because I witnessed firsthand the incredible support this charity provided to Lou and his family. Please consider donating to this amazing organization or coming out to spectate and support. It’s a day filled with positivity, energy, and a shared purpose.
