Ezekiel's Story
Following the premature birth of his son Zeek, Corey Taylor spent frightening days watching both his wife and their tiny baby fight for their lives. Zeek was born weighing just 1 pound 14 ounces and spent the first 103 days of his life in neonatal intenstive care. Today, Zeek is an artistic 8 year old who loves music, cooking, making greeting cards, and performing with a drum line. As the 2007 National Ambassador, Zeek and his family will travel the country to share their story, raising awareness of the seriousness of premature birth.
