Meet Morgan, one of the many faces of congenital CMV.

Every CMV story is unique, but they all share one thing in common: they matter.

Every congenital CMV story matters—and every family deserves access to the information, care, and support they need.

This week, we’re highlighting Community Alliance Chair Shelly Zappas of California as she shares her family’s journey with congenital CMV and the experiences that inspired her advocacy.

As a nurse practitioner, educator, researcher, and mother of a child affected by cCMV, Shelly offers a unique perspective on the importance of awareness, early recognition, and equitable access to care.

Read Shelly and Margot’s story on our blog and learn why geography shouldn’t decide a child’s future.

What an incredible way to kick off our 2026 Strides 4 CMV season in Buffalo, NY hosted by Brandi Kennedy

This weekend, families, friends, advocates, and supporters came together in Buffalo, NY to raise awareness for congenital CMV, honor the children and families impacted, and take steps toward a future where every family has access to CMV education and prevention.

Thank you to everyone who walked, volunteered, donated, sponsored, and shared our mission. Events like these remind us that no family walks this journey alone.

Buffalo may have been our first local Strides for CMV event of the season, but we’re just getting started. We can’t wait to see the CMV community come together at upcoming events across the country throughout CMV Awareness Month.

Together, we’re turning awareness into action.

Whether you walk on Saturday, June 27 or pick a day that fits your schedule, Strides 4 CMV Worldwide lets you take action from anywhere in the world. Walk, run, or roll 5K (3.1 miles) solo or with others - every step 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.
