Day 13 ???????

I have not heard from Zac as to where he ended up tonight... It is somewhere near or at Selmer, Tn. The recent presidential candidate, Fred Thompson is from this area. Other than that......
This morning we received a phone call from the police chief and fire chief from Lawrenceburg, TN to invite Zac to share dinner with them and sleep at the fire station. However, Lawrenceburg was early in his cycling schedule today and we were sorry he was not able to enjoy their hospitality.
I received my copy of Tales of the Trail today and am looking forward to reading the book that the wonderful students are studying at Sunset Park Elementary, Rock Hill, SC. The book arrived from the author, Ben Bache with a note of encouragement.
The students of Sunset Park are very actively planning their huge fundraising event at the school on June 6th from 12:30-1:45 p.m. The students from Kindergarten through 5th grade have the choice of biking or dancing for 69 minutes. I believe that this is a second for each mile that Zac is riding for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Prior to the event, the students are going to get family and friends to sponsor them for the non-stop event. In order to participate in the event, the students have to pay a $10 entry fee or raise $10 in sponsorship.
The most incredible part of this fundraiser is that the 4th grade students are responsible for this inspiration. They have divided themselves into groups to plan and execute the event. They are doing all the flyers and publicity including contacting the media.
The students have also created the "Honor Team" which is responsible in surveying the school community to honor anyone who is a survivor or has been affected by cancer.
Is this not the most amazing concept and effort by the students! We have an Aiken group already wanting to come up to be there for the event. We are working on a possible surprise for the students as well. It is unbelievable that Ms. Cagle and the Sunset Park Elementary school could have planned this in less than a week....
It has been amazing to observe this effort and see and hear all the wonderful things that have originated. There is so much good in this world and we fortunately do to not hear enough good news. Thank you to everyone. Sunset Park Elementary -- you are inspirational!
