My son is now 11 years old and was born with Congenital CMV. It wasn't until he was 10 years old that I found this foundation. For 10 years I felt completely alone. Through the CMV foundation I am now connected with literally hundreds of CMV families world wide and can get almost any CMV question answered with-in minutes thanks to the vast on line network of other CMV affected families and professionals. Without the CMV Foundation, I would still be alone.

I would continually look for new and creative ways to raise awareness.
MY ROLE:
Client Served & I co-sponsored a CMV Walk-N-Rollathon to raise public awareness. Having 2 major news networks covering the walk and walking with us was amazing.
