On the charity -- is a pretty revolutionary concept we also -- on betting on anything we said why wouldn't bet for charity.
So rather than just saying -- whether -- -- we're gonna actually complete the event we said let's see you -- can jump further than anyone else but TV jump higher than anywhere else to see if someone can run.
A marathon faster than a time that they would think.
So the idea is if someone actually does better you donate more.
Rather than just donating a flat amount so it's an amazing.
Contest you guys on Wall Street -- so competitive but -- it's there's football throwing there's bench -- -- collapse of 400 meter the 800 meter run fifty yard dash all of that and then that vertical jump that we will be showing these guys doing.
