Organiser's Description
You Only Live Once, so join us for the YOLO Run for a morning of sunshine that benefits children and families. UC Davis Children's Hospital and the NEC Society are teaming up on May 17th because it's Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) Awareness Day.

NEC is an intestinal disease that can affect medically fragile infants during their first weeks and months of life. UC Davis Children's Hospital provides lifesaving care for babies at risk of NEC, and the NEC Society is the world's leading nonprofit advancing NEC research, education, and advocacy. Yolo County locals, Jennifer and Noah Canvasser, launched the NEC Society after tragically losing their son, Micah, to the disease.
