This summer, Nevus Outreach is bringing our community together through Summer Campfire Chats—a virtual series focused on connection, support, and education for individuals and families impacted by CMN and related conditions. From conference experiences and research updates to emotional support and meaningful moments, each monthly chat is designed to remind you that you are never alone. Pull up a seat, bring your story, and join us this summer.

Running for Levi: Mike’s Boston Marathon Journey follows a father taking on 26.2 miles with purpose beyond the finish line. What began as a personal challenge became a way to honor his son Levi and give back to the CMN community through Nevus Outreach. Each mile Mike runs represents resilience, hope, and the power of showing up for family and community.

“Growing up in Uganda, Naava was born with a facial CMN that made the world stare before they ever saw her. Today, she shares her powerful journey from feeling unseen to fully embracing her beauty, purpose, and identity. Her story is a reminder: you are loved, you are enough, and your uniqueness is your strength.
