"They are our second family," Becca Rumschick, a parent of a NICU baby, told 2 On Your Side. "They care about all my three older kids. They know everything about them. They know my one son plays hockey. My daughter was changing for dance, so they know she plays dance. It's just, they are our family."

Rumschick said events such as this one help raise awareness about the work and love that goes into taking care of infants in the ICU.
