Read full article: Faith ‘One Arm Wonder’ Malton and Zack ‘Pitbull’ Ruhl rappel 30 stories for non-profit Camp For AllFaith Malton, a civil engineer known to many as the 'One Arm Wonder' through her social media videos showing how she lives her life with one arm, recently asked her friend Zack 'Pitbull' Ruhl to go 'Over the Edge' by rappelling down a 30 foot building in The Woodlands, just north of Houston. Zack, who doesn't have legs and is a competitive adaptive athlete and world record holder in bench press, didn't hesitate to say yes. Their goal was to help raise $200,000 for Camp For All, a 206-acre barrier-free camp for children and adults with serious illnesses, disabilities, or special needs. The camp, located in Burton, Texas, serves more than 9,000 campers each year. Next year, an additional location will open in Chappell Hill, doubling Camp For All's reach. Watch the full video to learn more about why Faith and Zack are not afraid of the obstacles life throws their way, plus why the Camp For All COO decided to wear a chicken suit during his own rappelling experience.
