The Yolo Foundation
The organization’s notion is based on the aphorism “You Only Live Once – YOLO.” There are no second chances once life has vanished. After knowing that we only live once, it is paramount to make life choices that promote healthy living no matter what and ensure that these choices are in the best interest of an individual’s life span.
