We started off the trip on the radio...we taped a Clear Channel interview with a very well informed and longtime March of Dimes volunteer, Lorraine Ballard Morrill...thanks again for having us!
Then it was straight to the good stuff...Zeek let off some steam at the Please Touch Children's Museum. Here he is actively building a tree house in one of the many exhibits he played.
He also showcased his skills in the home, teaching all the ladies in the group just how ironing is supposed to be done...something his mom Betty says he is actually starting to help with, well maybe not the ironing, but we learned Zeek and his brother Emanuel already sort their clothes and help with the laundry :)!!
Next stop...the supermarket. Zeek had a fantastic time here...he shopped up a storm and even served us lunch!
Then it was off to some real lunch...a local favorite and a continuing March of Dimes National Ambassador favorite...Jim's Steaks for some good'ole Philly Cheesesteaks!!!
But it was back to work at Health Partners...local sponsors here in Philadelphia. Zeek accepted a $5000 check with his picture on it...he also inquired if it was real, and where he could spend it!! Keep up the good work Zeek! And not to worry that money is going to help save babies...Zeek was pretty happy with that decision!
Our last stop of the day was at Communities in Schools...another longtime supporter of the March of Dimes...Zeek took a few minutes to sign his cards. An activity you can see he is VERY serious about!!
Then Betty had the opportunity to share their story and encourage the Walkers to come out on April 29th for their local Center City WalkAmerica!!
Before our visit was over...Zeek made sure everyone walked out of there with an autographed edition of his famous card!!!
We ended the night with a fantastic dinner at Continental where the local Star Chef cooked us up some fantastic meals (not even on the menu)!! We felt very privileged and barely walked away we were so stuffed!!
