The Adventure Begins - May 2008

It's May 2008 - Zeke is on the cusp of turning the big FIVE. Out of the blue, my die-hard truck and train fanatic has turned his passion to the animate world; specifically CHEETAH's! His passion for these amazing animals was literally birthed over night. He woke up one day, pushed his trains and trucks to the back of his closet, and declared himself a regular animal lover.
Of course, the animal lover/naturalist in nearly jumped through the roof with joy! We pulled out all of the animal books we owned and started learning about cheetahs. Where they live, what they eat, how fast they can run, etc. We pulled out a map of the world and I showed him where Africa is and where we live.
It is now November 2008 - during this time Zeke's passion for animals has blossomed and moved in so many different directions that I've decided to start a blog to document his journey. What started as a love of one animal has grown into a self-generated movement to raise money to help endangered species all over the globe.
Over the next few post I will attempt to chronicle the journey thus far and get everyone up to speed as to where we are at now. As of today, Zeke's new passion is Cobra's - but I get ahead of myself....
