Despite Cold, Dozens Take Part In Rockaway Polar Plunge

That includes covering the expenses of a second double-lung transplant for 21-year-old Annie McMahon, of Westchester County.
"The water feels like Mohammad Ali – boom right across the face," Brennan said, before running back in for round two.
