Lace up those tennis shoes and get ready to run at the first Children’s Rescue Race Challenging Heights 5K walk/run at Grand Valley State University beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday. The event will raise money to rescue trafficked children from the fishing slave industry in Ghana, West Africa. Participants will meet at the clock tower in front of the Kirkhof Center on the Allendale Campus.

Challenging Heights is a GVSU service and advocacy organization that hopes to raise awareness about human trafficking in Ghana through education, presentations and other fundraising events on campus.
