Join us to raise awareness, support families and preventing the next case of congenital CMV

Strides 4 CMV is the National CMV Foundation’s worldwide 5K event. We walk, run, and roll together because too many families are blindsided by congenital CMV—a common, serious, and largely unknown virus that threatens the health of babies. By participating, we’re taking action to raise awareness, fund prevention, and stand with families already affected.

Congenital CMV (cCMV) is common: 1 in 200 babies is born with it.  It’s serious: every day, over 10 babies will develop lifelong disabilities like hearing or vision loss, cerebral palsy, or developmental delays.   It’s life-changing: CMV can cause epilepsy, microcephaly, or even death.   And, it’s shockingly unknown: 91% of expecting mothers have never heard of it.

The National CMV Foundation is working hard to change this, but they can’t do it alone.  Here’s how you can help:

• Donate: Every dollar brings us closer to prevention, education, and a cure.

• Share: Spread the word. Awareness is action.

Thank you for your support and for helping make cCMV impossible to ignore.

Together, we can #stopcmv.
