Strides 4CMV

Stronger Together!

Throughout the month of June, gather your friends, family, or coworkers and walk, run, or roll 5K (3.1 miles) from anywhere in the world.  Whether you’re honoring a child, gathering your team, or getting active solo, your participation helps shine a light on this silent crisis.

Strides 4 CMV is an annual awareness event that brings people together to take action against congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV)—a common, serious, and preventable virus that causes more birth defects than Down syndrome, spina bifida, or fetal alcohol syndrome. Yet nearly 91% of expecting parents have never even heard of it.

Every step helps fuel prevention, education, and research to stop CMV from causing pregnancy loss, childhood death, and lifelong disabilities.

Get started now: Register, set up your fundraising page, make your first gift, and invite others to join you. Share your journey using #Strides4CMV and #StopCMV.

Because when it comes to stopping CMV, 
we’re stronger together.
