People daring enough to take on a situation similar to television's "Fear Factor" can count on an Extreme Challenge-style competition April 5,
10 a.m. at the 'ropes' obstacle course at GCCC.
The event includes a $30 fee per team, with proceeds going to help Tabitha Lynn Redden, an infant with brachial plexus injury. Spectators are also being encouraged to make donations.
Organizers said each team should include three men and three women, and members should dress for physical exertion.
Competitive events will take place at various stations around the outdoor course, which includes everything from team-challenge exercise units to a wall-climbing tower spread across the southwest edge of the college campus. Refusal of an event by any participant disqualifies the team, and each person will need to sign a waiver before participating.
The beneficiary of the event is the daughter of Roger and Tisha Redden, Garden City. She suffered a brachial plexus injury at birth Aug. 27, causing serious nerve damage that can cause full or partial paralysis in one or both arms, as well as breathing impairment. As a result she must have surgery at four month intervals until age two, in order to minimize impairment.
The challenge competition is being organized by students and personnel of the GCCC department of public safety and criminal justice. Information and application forms are available in GCCC's John Collins Technical Building, or at 620-276-6929. The event is one in a number of fundraisers being staged in the community.
