Step Up to #StopCMV

Join us on Saturday, June 28—or anytime that works for you—and walk, run, or roll 5K (3.1 miles) from anywhere in the world. Whether you’re honoring a child, gathering your team, or going solo, your participation helps shine a light on this silent crisis.

Strides 4 CMV is our annual awareness event, uniting families, advocates, and supporters 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 fuels prevention, education, and research to stop CMV from causing pregnancy loss, childhood death, and lifelong disabilities.

we’re stronger together.
