Laura and I are part of the paediatric surgical team at Southampton Children Hospital. We both look after babies and family who has been devastated by necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). NEC UK has been one of our long standing partners doing great work in the area. We are proud to be walking 100km between us (58 + 42 = 100...hopefully!!😳) of the mighty Jurassic Coast in (definitely) under 21 hours 🤞😱 !!

NEC UK is the first charity in the UK exclusively for the condition Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC).Our organisation is parent led and primarily offers support to families affected by the condition at any stage of their journey.In addition to family support our objectives are to support further research and studies into NEC, to raise awareness of NEC while also developing good relationships with experts, care providers and other organisations to give NEC a platform to be heard and improve the outcomes for babies affected by Necrotising Enterocolitis and their families.

May is NEC awareness month.
