The National CMV Foundation
The cause personally affects someone close to Jordan—John Spytek, the Raiders’ GM, whose daughter was born with congenital CMV.
The National CMV Foundation leads the fight against congenital cytomegalovirus, the leading infectious cause of birth defects and developmental disabilities in the United States. Since 2014, they have brought families, clinicians, researchers, and policymakers together to build awareness, improve prevention, and strengthen screening and treatment. Their work supports families facing CMV today and drives research and policy changes that protect future children.
