Your brain needs a continuous supply of blood to survive. A stroke is an immediate threat to this most important organ.

“Every minute that the brain doesn’t have that blood supply, 1.9 million brain cells die, so you need to be seen as quickly as you can,” says UNC Health stroke neurologist and neurointerventionalist James Pham Ho, MD. "A stroke can happen to anyone—man, woman, young, old—at any time, day or night.”

Your brain needs a continuous supply of blood to survive. Fortunately, the human brain is supported by 400 miles of blood vessels providing oxygen and nutrients.

Tomorrow is NEC Awareness Day, and we’re proud to stand with families, researchers, clinicians, and advocates working toward a future with no more NEC. 💙

NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis) is a devastating intestinal disease that primarily affects premature and medically fragile infants. For many families, awareness comes through heartbreak. That’s why events like the 2025 Titus Strong Foundation pickleball tournament matter so much, bringing people together to raise awareness, support research, and honor babies and families impacted by NEC.

We’re grateful for partners like the Titus Strong Foundation and everyone helping push this work forward.
