Four short-listed for Bedroom Challenge

Four participants have been short-listed for the Bay Street Bedroom Challenge.

They are expected to start their 100-hour challenge tomorrow, at 4.30 p.m.

Maria Galea, Robbie Grech, Paul Christie and David Cuschieri will be raising funds for the YMCA Homeless Project and will also get a chance to win a new bedroom courtesy of CBR Furniture and a flight to London sponsored by Bargain Holidays.

They will also be seeking to break last year's record of 82 hours isolated in a bedroom which was set by Sarah Pettingill of Sliema.

A purposely built bedroom with four beds will be set up at Bay Street's Rotunda. The public will be able to see what the contestant are up to all day long, as the front part of the bedroom will remain open.

The contestants will be asked to nominate a person to be eliminated from the challenge. Throughout the event, the organisers will also be asking the contestants to perform various challenges which, if not completed, can disqualify them.

In this year's edition, the public will be able to send text messages to the contestants and a percentage of the costs of each SMS will go towards the Homeless Project.

Furthermore the public can contribute directly by calling 5061 6001 for a donation of 50c, 5061 7362 for a donation of Lm1 and 5061 8069 for a contribution of Lm2.
