Zeeks Turns Eight ~ Atlanta, GA

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZEEK!!!
Not even a birthday could stop Zeek Taylor from heading out on the road with his mom Betty. They landed in Atlanta, GA last week (Jan 30) and went straight to work! Once the partying was over, Gary Gross of AM 1620 Radio interviewed Betty and Zeek for his weekly half hour community issues segment. They three of them had a lively discussion about tthe rise of prematurity, Zeek's story, and Zeek even got a chance to talk about one of his most favorite things to do...cook!
From there, Betty and Zeek made their first official presentation of 2007 at the Cobb County WalkAmerica Kickoff! Betty moved the room with her heartfelt story and energized the crowd to get out and raise those dollars. Zeek caught a sneak peek around the podium and even got in the last word to thank the crowd for "helping save premature babies."
Betty, Zeek, Lt. Governor, Casey Cagle, and March of Dimes advocate take a moment at the State House in Atlanta to talk about PeachCare Funding, newborn screening, and the Preemie Act. Before the lobbying day ended, Zeek had toured the State House, met with the Speaker of the House, Glenn Richardson, and recieved his own personal gavel...I see the White House in his future!

Looks like you did quite a lot of work in Atlanta, GA! Great to see you are trying so hard to help save premature babies and I saw that you talked to Mr. Speaker & Lt. Governor Cagle about PeachCare!! PeachCare is very important for the children of GA who need access to healthcare and I am so proud you are a part of that!
