Day 9 for our intrepid hero started just west of Omemee and went to the western border of Peterborough via Highway 7.
Zach begins week two of his journey from Barrie to Ottawa with about $55,000 raised so far for Child and Youth Mental Health programs at RVH.
Here's the latest dispatch from Zach's mom Shelley:
We made it to Peterborough! It was a mentally challenging start to the day, and many hills loomed ahead, but more and more people are waving and honking and sending awesome messages of support! Derek is pulling out all the stops keeping Zach's little legs moving. So proud of them both. Journeying through Peterborough tomorrow. Will post the route as soon as we have it from the Peterborough Police!
