Sunday was a beautiful day to take an ice-cold dip in Lake Michigan.
As part of the annual Chicago Polar Plunge, dozens descended on North Avenue Beach for the 2024 event, benefitting the Special Olympics Chicago and Special Children's Charities.
Several from NBC Chicago and Telemundo Chicago took part in the plunge, including JC Navarrete, Regina Waldroup and Michelle Relerford.
