Day 14 Heading towards Memphis

We heard from Zac. He had spent the night in Savannah, TN and we are not sure where, but it was safe. There was not to much information regarding Savannah, TN except that for every 100 females, there are 85.3 males.... Zac is heading towards Memphis, with 120 miles to go. He has no spare inner tubes left and he is hoping to make it. If not, friends from Memphis may have to do a search and rescue.
I have sent an envelope with checks in today to the Mid South Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. They have $7,000 registered with online donations. With the checks that we have sent from friends in Aiken, Zac has jumped over the half way point of his goal. However, he is determined to reach his goal and raise much more for the LLS!
We have had calls regarding donations.. There is a link on this site. However, the donation page is teamintraining.org. Checks can be sent directly to the Mid South Office, LLS, 4445 Malone Road, Memphis, TN 38118. They can also be sent to our home address in Aiken and we will hurry them on.
Zac will have a few days of rest in Memphis. He will also spend some time purchasing more inner tubes, ointment and food. He has some promotional and fundraising work to do as well.
P.S. Zac's gracious hosts at the Antebellum Inn have emailed and said the newspapers there have done a great article on Zac coming through...Will post it when we get it....Thank you!

*posted by his Mom. Zac should get to his blogsite this weekend.. Hopefully,he will allow me back when he gets back on the road..... I am still amazed that I found out how to blog and am having too much fun...*

Zac

Your neighbors in Annesdale Park are keeping up with your progress and we are very proud of you. If you get into a bind on the road, you can call Tom at 228-297-7943 or Andrew at 228-326-3739. We had barbecue ribs at Cathy Winterburn's hosue last night, our association president. You were one of the big topics of discussion.
