Update on the ZAC ATTACK

There is such exciting news. The Drop In for "ZAC ATTACK IS BACK" was held and we reached our goal of $15,000. In fact, the donations that were made that night, took the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society donation to $15.939.00, a 106% of his goal. More good news continued to come in the mail and another group of checks for $825.00 have been sent to the Mid South Chapter to be registered for the ZAC ATTACK, taking his total to $16,764, taking this to 112%. There is an anticipated pledge of $500 that is still outstanding and that would be a true blessing for such a needy cause. Laura Newton, of the SEASIDE SIGNAL sent the article that she placed in her paper following Zac's arrival at Seaside, Oregon on July 28th. We also received a donation from Ruth, the wonderful woman that owns the UPS store in Marshfield, KS who went out of her way to get Zac his package when he was travelling through.. To top this off, she sent a generous donation and such a great note. There is no way that Zac and those of us who were involved with his "Sea to Shining Sea" ride can be the same persons that we were before this endeavor. The people that surrounded Zac with love, prayers and generosity cannot all be remembered and named. So many of these kind hearts were total strangers. Zac only had a few stories of being in danger or feeling unsafe but so many stories of tremendously big hearted people that assisted him throughout the ride.. And Aiken, SC.... this incredible city that you fall in love with your first visit, once again, reminds you how caring and generous this community is. There are not enough words to thank everyone from a mother and father's heart for the support of everyone. Zac is home for a short while and promises that he will get thank you notes out..... hmmmmmm.... he is trying but the progress is very slow. Zac is also looking forward to going to visit the students of Sunset Park Elementary when they are well situated in this school year and Ms. Cagle schedules that visit.... We think of all the people afflicted with blood related cancers and the brave battles that they fight. Their needs are also great. Thank you for helping Zac help in his way. God Bless everyone and God Bless America!
