Every year in the UK, around 900 families are impacted by congenital CMV (cCMV), a virus that is often silent but can have life-altering effects on children and their loved ones. For these families, each day is a reminder of the challenges CMV brings, from medical appointments to uncertain futures. But there is hope—and you can help make a difference.
By participating in Step Out for CMV, you’re not just taking a walk. You’re taking action for families who are fighting for better awareness, better resources, and better support.
Your steps this CMV Awareness Month (June) - whether it’s a mile, 5km, or a distance that means something to you, matter. Each step you take raises awareness and brings us closer to better outcomes for those affected by this virus. And by fundraising, you’re helping ensure that more families get the support they need.
This campaign isn’t just about raising funds—it’s about sharing stories, spreading hope, and empowering a community. Step Out for CMV is your chance to make a lasting impact and show that no family facing CMV should ever have to walk alone.
