This Polar Plunge will raise money for a mom with stage 4 cancer and her special-needs son, as well as another mom with stage 3 cancer who recently gave birth to a son.

Matt and Jill Zane are loved and selfless educators in the Wall Township school district. After battling fertility issues for several years, Jill became pregnant with twins through IVF. Eight weeks into the pregnancy, one of the eggs split, giving Matt and Jill triplets in August, 2010.

One of their three children, Caden, is a medically complex, chronically ill, disabled little boy. Every day is a serious struggle for Caden, vomiting constantly and often crying through sleepless nights. These are just a few of the many difficulties Caden endures. With very little understanding of Caden's condition, the Zane family has struggled to get him the help he needs.

As if that's not enough of a nightmare, Jill has now been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer that has metastasized to her bones and two organs.

The 2015 Polar Plunge will raise money for the Zane family, as well as for Jaclyn Olsen and baby Nicholas. Jaclyn, who recently gave birth to Nicholas, was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer.

So come on out to Plunge for Pete's Sake in support of these two great families in need. The plunge is Saturday, March 21st. All donations will be split between the two families. It takes place at Firefly Oceanside, 1106 Ocean Avenue in Point Pleasant. Registration is at 10:30 am, donation is $40.

All plungers are encouraged to dress up! A free buffet will be provided, and live music, too! For more information, call 732-546-6936 or CLICK HERE.

If you can't attend as a spectator or plunger and still want to donate, you can send your donations to: FOR PETE'S SAKE, 2424 Algonkin Trail, Manasquan, NJ 08736.
