Strides 4 CMV
Des Moines, Iowa
Strides 4 CMV is back—and the need has never been greater.
This annual event raises critical awareness about 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.
On Saturday, June 20th, gather your friends, family, or coworkers and walk, run, or roll 5K (3.1 miles) from anywhere in the world. It’s fully virtual, completely flexible, and 100% for a great cause.
Every step helps fuel prevention, education, and research to stop CMV from causing pregnancy loss, childhood death, and lifelong disabilities.
Register now, set up your fundraising page, make your first gift, and spread the word! Use hashtags like #Strides4CMV and #StopCMV to share your photos and why you’re stepping up.
Let’s make CMV impossible to ignore.
