Cody VanBuren of Roseboom, 10, right, is one of the five children to benefit from this year’s 15th annual Goodyear Lake Polar Bear Jump Saturday, Feb. 20. Cody has been struggling with Hirschsprung’s disease since he was born. His family includes, from left, grandma Norma VanBuren, sister Abby, 8, mom Lorel and dad Stacy. The jump raised over $80,000, with each recipient receiving $10,570.
