Global CMN Awareness Day is an opportunity for our community, supporters and friends around the world to come together to raise awareness of Congenital Melanocytic Naevus (CMN), help others better understand what it means to live with CMN, and shine a light on the vital work of Caring Matters Now. There are lots of ways you can get involved, from sharing information and our social media videos, to hosting your own Coffee and Cake fundraiser.

Get together for Coffee & Cake
What better way to celebrate Global CMN Awareness Day than with a cuppa, a slice of cake and good company?
Whether you host a Coffee & Cake morning at home, get together with friends and family, organise something at work or bring your community together in a local village hall, an event is a simple and fun way to raise awareness of CMN while raising vital funds to support the work of Caring Matters Now.
Host your event on Global CMN Awareness Day or choose another date in September, invite your people, bake (or buy!) some treats and help us make CMN more visible.
Every cup, cake and conversation can help someone understand CMN a little better.
Support our Thames Bridges Trek team
On 12th September, a group of our adult members, along with some of their extended family, will take on the 25km Thames Bridges Trek across London as a continuation of our Bare Your Birthmark campaign.
Wearing their Bare Your Birthmark sports kit, our team will show their CMN with pride as they take on this challenge, helping raise vital awareness of CMN and the work of Caring Matters Now. You can support the team by following their journey, sharing their story and sponsoring them here.
What can you do this month to celebrate Global CMN Awareness Day
Throughout September, we’ll be sharing a series of short videos across our social media channels to mark Global CMN Awareness Day.
The videos will help explain what CMN is, bust some common myths and misconceptions, share the experiences of people living with CMN, and highlight the difference your support makes to the work of Caring Matters Now.
You can help simply by watching, liking and sharing our videos with your friends, family and followers. Every share helps us reach more people and improve understanding of CMN.
Follow Caring Matters Now on social media throughout September so you don’t miss them!
