Endurance Challenge 24 raised around $20,000 to help TF North students impacted by the pandemic.
CALUMET CITY â Diego Duran had run at all hours of the day and night, but this was something new.
Duran and three of his TF North High School cross country teammates â Edgar Godina, Taiwo Iwusu and Olaoluwa Olagoke â were there from beginning to end of Endurance Challenge 24 Friday and Saturday.
The event, dreamed up by TF North teachers and running buddies Aaron Altenburg and Chris Russo, began Friday afternoon at Lincoln Elementary School in Cedar Lake and wound north over the next 24 hours to end with four laps around the TF North track.
The Biblical Tower of Babel
The most commonly known of all these accounts is the biblical Tower of Babel narrative found in the Book of Genesis, chapter eleven verses one through nine. This narrative basically states that the generations following a global deluge cataclysm united together under one language. They migrated west into the region of Shinar ( Sumer or modern day Iraq) and they were determined to build a great city, with a tower.
There is a curious indication that somehow, this tower would empower them and prevent any future annihilation. Furthermore, this project is seen as an affront to the supreme deity. To counter this effort, the deity intervenes by confounding the language that united them, thereby undermining the project and causing the people to scatter throughout the planet.
