WHEREAS, Zach is one of three Georgians, 80 Americans, and only 232 people worldwide to complete this remarkable endeavor; and

WHEREAS, Zach, a devout Christian, has shown perseverance, hard work, and complete humility in all aspects of his life and gives all credit and honor of his accomplishments to the Lord; and

WHEREAS, he has answered a call to ministry to serve the children of Jefferey's Bay, South Africa, where he manages an orphanage for children whose parents have lost their lives to AIDS; and
