Here is an excerpt from one of the
stories which is only available here.
This particular story comes from The
Athlete and tells of the determination of
an athletic girl to accomplish a
remarkable feat for her parents.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT
It didn't occur to
Athlete to wonder what a
Survival Trek was or what
she'd have to do to win.
All she thought about was
how great it would be to
win the competition and
surprise her parents with
a gift she knew they could
never afford. She would
be the one who would give
her mom and dad that
vacation that they'd been
dreaming about for so
long. It was a great plan.
Athlete turned
around and left the room
without saying a word to
her dad. She wanted to

keep it a secret and right
now she had more
important things to do,
like register online. She
was determined to win
that prize.
And so, she hurried
off to her room, fired up
her computer and quickly
found the website that had
the entry form for the
Survival Trek. It only
took a few minutes to
complete the form and
before she knew it, the
confirmation e-mail came
back with her competitor
number and a valid entry
coupon. She was in!

Now that it was
official, Athlete went back
to the website and looked
over the description of the
contest. It seemed simple
enough to her.
Contestants were required
to run along a wilderness
trail, swim across a river,
and then climb up a rock
fissure to the top of a cliff.
The competitor with the
fastest time was the
winner. What Athlete
neglected to notice was the
fine print at the bottom of
the website page that said
“entrants must be 18
years old to qualify.”
