A World With Wyatt

Amanda Allen / 2026 Conference Fundraise Your Way

For Wyatt and every child living with CMN, our mission is to advance meaningful research, open doors to education and events like the 2026 CMN conference, and build a strong circle of support so no family has to face this journey on their own. We want him and others to have the ability to attend this conference, gaining the knowledge, connection, and encouragement that every child and family deserves.

About A World With Wyatt

Wyatt is a soon-to-be six-year-old with a spirit that shines brighter than anything he faces. Born with a giant Congenital Melanocytic Nevus (CMN), lipomas, cystic encephalomalacia, and cerebral palsy, he has overcome more challenges in his few years than many do in a lifetime. Through procedures, therapies, and day-to-day obstacles, Wyatt continues to show resilience, joy, and fight. His strength is the heart behind our mission. 

Families affected by CMN often navigate a rare and complicated medical landscape, with limited research, varying treatment options, and a need for lifelong monitoring. That’s why Nevus Outreach, Inc. has become such an important organization for families like ours. Nevus Outreach is one of the few national organizations dedicated specifically to CMN and Neurocutaneous Melanocytosis (NCM). Their work includes funding critical medical research, supporting families through education, and connecting people across the world who share this rare diagnosis. Their advocacy has led to increased awareness, improved medical understanding, and a growing network of families who no longer feel isolated in this journey. 

One of the most impactful things Nevus Outreach provides is the CMN Conference, held every two years. It brings together leading doctors, researchers, specialists, and families from around the globe. For parents, it’s a chance to receive up-to-date information on treatments, research advancements, neurological concerns, and care strategies. For children, it’s a rare opportunity to meet others who look like them, understand their challenges, and remind them that they are not alone. 

For Wyatt, attending the 2026 CMN Conference would be life-changing. With Wyatt's giant CMN and additional medical conditions, being surrounded by experts who fully understand his needs could guide us toward the best care for his future. The conference would also give him the chance to meet other children with CMN — something incredibly meaningful for kids who often feel “different” in their everyday world. Being in a place where people look like him, understand him, and celebrate him is something we cannot replicate anywhere else. 

This fundraiser supports not only the broader mission of advancing CMN research and resources, but also our family’s goal of getting Wyatt to the 2026 conference so he can receive the education, support, and community he deserves. Every contribution helps move research forward, strengthens the CMN community, and takes Wyatt one step closer to an experience that could impact his life forever.
