Zach training in the hospital
Oct 27th, 2007 by admin in Uncategorized
Zach’s condition is very serious. He’s in a hospital in Rochester waiting for a new liver. If he doesn’t get one soon, he’ll die. Yet, even with these obstacles he is still optimistic. During the summer, he did multiple 5K races, five triathlons, and a 100-mile bike ride. He did all this with a tumor on his liver the size of two large grapefruits and while on chemotherapy. When Zach recovers he’s going to continue to do triathlons. Eventually, he hopes to do a cross country bike trip to raise money for a cancer charity like the Lance Armstrong Foundation. ZHOPE.org and the Zach DeRidder Foundation were created to help Zach realize his dream of biking across the U.S. But Zach can’t get in the ring with the bike ride until he knocks out his cancer. Please pray for Zach and his family during this time of need.
