Stronger Together: CMV Awareness Month 2026

This CMV Awareness Month, we’re coming together with one clear message: we are stronger together.

Over the past 6 months, our CMV Connect project has shown what’s possible when families, volunteers, and supporters unite. Together, we’ve built a community where no one faces congenital CMV alone – a space for connection, understanding, and hope.

Now, this CMV Awareness Month we need your help to keep that momentum going.

What is CMV Connect?

CMV Connect is a lifeline for families affected by congenital CMV.

It brings people together through:

  • Peer support from others who truly understand
  • Trusted information at the moments it’s needed most
  • A compassionate community that reduces isolation

For many families, CMV Connect is the first time they’ve felt seen, heard, and supported.

What We’ve Achieved Together

Because of your support, CMV Connect has already made a real difference:

  • Families have found connection in moments of uncertainty
  • Parents have gained confidence, knowing they’re supported.
  • Friendships and support networks have formed
  • Awareness of congenital CMV has grown stronger

These are not just numbers, they are real lives changed through shared connections.

Why We Need You Now

CMV Connect is working and we want to be able to keep the project running, and to expand its reach to more families, to do this, we need to raise vital funds.

With your help this CMV Awareness Month, we can:

  • Support more families across the UK
  • Expand our peer support network
  • Develop new resources and services
  • Ensure every family affected by CMV has somewhere to turn
