The Morgan Leary Vaughan Fund (Morgan’s Fund) emerged from a need to establish a mechanism for: • Disseminating credible and timely information about Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) to parents whose infants are most at risk for developing NEC • Raising the level of public awareness about NEC and the potentially devastating effects it can have on infants and their families • Advancing research to prevent, diagnose, treat, and ultimately, cure NEC.
