Summer’s here, and our executive director Anne Statton is already training hard for this year’s Chicago Triathlon, as part of TEAM TO END AIDS (T2 CHICAGO)! Here are some photos of Anne at past years’ Triathlons. Anne writes: “On June 22nd, 2025, I’m competing in the Rockford Half Ironman 70.3 race! The swim is 1.2 miles, the bike is 56 miles and the run is 13.1 miles. “On August 24th, 2025, I’m competing in the Chicago Triathlon with TEAM TO END AIDS (T2). “I’m determined to put my two new knees to good use on behalf of the moms and babies served by Mother and Child Alliance. “Your support will help with food, transportation and the priceless support and advocacy that MACA provides to the families that we serve. “Especially in this difficult climate where support is being cut, your dollars are essential to the ongoing success of public health efforts. “I appreciate your help and good thoughts as I work on getting through my training and races. “Please help me cross the finish line while helping countless moms and babies across Illinois! Thank you for your support.” Donate to Anne’s Chicago Triathlon campaign here: https://action.aidschicago.org/fundraiser/6360888 (fb)

We’re excited to announce that tickets are officially on sale for MACA’s 25th Anniversary Celebration on Thursday, August 7, 2025, at The Arbory in Chicago!
