CATOOSA, Okla. - 2NEWS Today & Midday anchor Justin Wilfon has done it!

He made it down 19 stories of the side of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino!

He signed up for this event months ago and had been looking forward to finally experiencing this incredible adventure.

But after Justin made it to the ground he thinks this is probably the first and last time he'll do it saying, "It was incredibly intense. I'm so glad I did it, but not sure I would do it again."

It took about five minutes to make it to the bottom.

This unique event raises money for Special Olympics Oklahoma. Each participant pledged to raise money for Special Olympics.

The money will be used to serve more than 9,500 Special Olympics athletes who participate in 120 events in Oklahoma each year.
