A disabled Moultrie man is able to enter his mother’s home for the first time in 17 years due to the efforts of students from the University of Tennessee and Moultrie’s Mega Impact Week 2014. Richard Henry, who is confined to a wheelchair, can now use the ramp built by some of the 100 UT students who spent their Spring Break week with local volunteers building at least a dozen such ramps. This is the fifth consecutive year that the UT Cross Ministry has partnered with Heritage Church to perform construction and home and community improvement projects in Moultrie, with the focus the past two years being on families with special needs. The Mega Impact Week kicked off this year with a 5K, 10K and 1-mile fun run on March 16 to benefit the special needs ministry at Heritage called Breathe.
