Dedicated to spreading a message about health and physical activity, Zach has embarked on a journey that will take him 3,600 miles across the country. By sharing his journey along the way, Zach hopes to inspire others to develop healthy, active lifestyles. His mission has been fueled by what he's learned about the importance of being active and healthy through his studies at the IU School of Public Health-Bloomington.
"My best friend once asked me 'Zach, how are you going to change the world?' and my answer was 'I have no idea.' Deep down inside I was frustrated because I didn't have a clue and I wanted to have some crazy awesome answer to come back with that would really impress her. I thought about it for months and every night it haunted me. Finally, one thought lead to the next, ideas were hitting me left and right, and I decided this would be the start of my answer to that question," he said.
Zach departed from Surf City, North Carolina in April 2014 and should arrive in Eureka, California sometime in late 2014 or early 2015. His journey will be blogged on his website as well as on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr. He expects to travel somewhere in the ballpark of over 3,600 miles, will use apps to track his location, and fitness equipment to track his vitals as he travels.
