ICYMI: Elon Musk's Neuralink shared their latest technology update in a touching video.

Kenneth was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2024. As speaking became progressively harder, even short conversations with his wife were tiring, and everyday tasks like phone calls were nearly impossible.

When he learned about Neuralink, he discovered that brain-computer interfaces have the potential to restore communication by translating thought into speech. Now, as a participant in Neuralink’s VOICE clinical trial, he is pioneering technology that could give voices back to those who have lost them.

Big thank you to News 12 New Jersey for covering this year's event.

"Twenty years ago, we started the Valentine Plunge when my brother was diagnosed with ALS,” O’Neill said. “He made the first plunge, and he died a year later. So, we’ve kept this going in his honor and in honor of others who have died from ALS.”

Participants said the icy water is nothing compared to the daily challenges faced by families living with the disease.

Even though they were unable to make the postponed date this year, this past Saturday one of our teams plunged in memory of Chaz Blasko who passed away in October 2013.

Chaz's team raised over $14,000 this year!!! ❤️

We're so thankful to all of our families making the effort to raise $$$, spread awareness, and keep the annual plunge alive many years after their loved ones have passed.

Thanks to all who came out Saturday for the 20th anniversary Valentine Plunge. It was great weather but today is much better for a guy like me. Hope to see you all next year! ❤️
