The following was posted today on the Howard County Police Department's Facebook page:
"HCPD’s Command Staff took a moment in their meeting yesterday to show solidarity with Zach Lederer, a local teen who is battling cancer for the second time in his life and a close friend of one of the commanders' children. Recently, after undergoing a second brain surgery, Lederer flexed his muscles in a photo to show his strength against cancer. Now, across the country, allies are striking the same pose, which has been dubbed “Zaching,” and snapping photos to show their support. HCPD wishes Lederer the best of health as he continues to fight this disease. Learn more about “Zaching” online at http://zaching.tumblr.com/.”
Lederer, of Ellicott City, is a former football player at Centennial High and is Maryland Del. Liz Bobo’s grandson.
At 18, he is a freshman at the University of Maryland in College Park. He is an assistant manager of the university’s men’s basketball team.
Bobo recently shared with Patch a “Letter the community” detailing a brain surgery Lederer was to have.

I am continually impressed with the strength and fortitude of those struggling with adversity.

Is the HCPD subject to physical fitness requirements?

OMT- is that supposed to answer the question? I wouldn't assume that they are subject to any (meaningful) fitness requirements. If you know for sure they are, please let me know how many push ups, pull ups, sit ups, running times, etc. they have to do and how often. Otherwise, quit trying to be cute.

Ohai, this isn't about the police department... its about a young man fighting brain cancer. Let it go and stop trying to pick a bone with the pictures. I'd love to see you Zaching and showing your support!

Ohai-This is a story about a brave young man fighting for his life and the community that supports him. Your comment thread is inappropriate and misplaced.
Go Zach! ( and all those who support you )
