Turning unimaginable tragedy into a mission to protect children and save lives. The Lizzy Hammond Foundation is honoring the memory of 9-year-old Lizzy Hammond through child safety advocacy, Nevada's new inflatable amusement safety law, and its 8th Annual 5K Fun Run & Walk at Sparks Marina.

On 2 Plus You Nevada, host Sarah Johns welcomes Wendy and Mitch Hammond of the Lizzy Hammond Foundation to share their daughter's story, the heartbreaking bounce house accident that changed their family forever, and how their dedication to preventing similar tragedies helped bring Lizzy's Law (Nevada AB198) into effect on January 1, 2026.

Discover the importance of bounce house safety, wind monitoring, proper anchoring, and manufacturer safety guidelines. Plus, learn how the foundation's annual 5K fundraiser supports education, awareness, and efforts to expand inflatable safety protections beyond Northern Nevada.
