Participants plunge into the Potomac River for annual charity fundraiser

Leo Shorten, 18, dove into the Potomac River Monday afternoon, donning only a T-shirt, shorts and shoes. He dunked himself in the frigid river a second time and splashed water into the air. About 20 other people joined him for the 2024 Freezin’ for a Reason plunge in Brunswick, though not all of them were as keen as Shorten to submerge themselves in the frigid water.
