The theme for this year’s is “More Good Days, Together.” The goal is to help people have more good days by meeting them where they are, supporting them as whole people, and understanding that “good” is subjective.

This approach encourages us all to reflect on what a “good” day looks like, both for ourselves and for our communities. Together, we can use that insight to connect people to the right support at the right time, and shape advocacy, education, and community engagement to make more good days possible for all.

Only you can define what a “good day” looks like to you. But you don’t have to carry the weight of “not-so-good” days alone. When we look out for one another, more good days become possible for all of us.

This past Saturday, our exec director Anne Statton participated in the 2026 event, in honor of Memorial Day and in support of health care for veterans. This annual race offers both a 10K and a 10-mile course that finish at Soldier Field. Anne and her nephew Patrick both ran the 10K this year.

This was the 22nd annual Soldier Field 10 run. The event raises funds for The Road Home Program at Rush — which provides veterans of all eras, active-duty service members, and their families with mental and behavioral health care regardless of their discharge status or ability to pay.

Psst! Our exec director Anne Statton has a birthday coming up in early June, and if you’d like to help grant her #1 b-day wish, you can chip in to her fundraiser for this year’s . Anne will once again be participating as part of TEAM TO END AIDS (T2 CHICAGO) to raise funds for MACA.

Here are a couple of pics of Anne with her T2 teammates from last year, as well as a super-duper early photo taken at 4 am before the start of the event!

Anne writes: “I'm fundraising to change the story of women with HIV in our neighborhoods and our nation. Will you support my efforts and join this movement?

“I chose to train, race, and fundraise to support Mother and Child Alliance so that pregnant people with HIV can get the support that they need for healthy pregnancies and have babies born free of HIV.

“Did you know that we can almost 100% prevent transmission to infants? However, the support needed for pregnant people to know their HIV status, get to undetectable, have a healthy pregnancy with support, and deliver a baby born free of HIV, is substantial.

“Please help us help connect pregnant people with testing, connect pregnant people with HIV to expert care, and provide the necessary supports to new mothers for the early care needed to help make sure babies stay free of HIV.”

May is National , and May 22 is World Preeclampsia Day! So we’re once again partnering with the Preeclampsia Foundation to help make sure that EVERY mother in any pregnancy knows the signs and symptoms of preeclampsia.

Preeclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDPs) including preeclampsia are a leading cause of maternal and infant illness and death in the United States.

• It's important to know the symptoms of : severe headache, swelling in the hands and face, visual issues, nausea and vomiting, stomach or abdomen pain, sudden weight gain, and/or shortness of breath.

• Preeclampsia can occur in any pregnancy, so ALL moms need to know.

• Moms are still at risk for postpartum preeclampsia, or high blood pressure, up to six weeks after delivery. It's important that women pay attention to specific postpartum symptoms, including severe headache, vision changes, swelling of the hands and face, and especially difficulty breathing.

• 60% of hypertension-related maternal deaths are potentially preventable.

• We can do better for pregnant and postpartum patients and their infants, but it takes us all: patients participating in research. Researchers receiving funding to investigate preeclampsia. Clinicians implementing what research shows saves lives. Policymakers prioritizing maternal health research funding in general and preeclampsia research in specific.

Great news: we reached our goal for this year’s 🌷 fundraiser! We’re so grateful to all of you who chipped in to help us provide emergency funds for moms with HIV.

Our Dolores Benton fund, named for one of our longtime case managers, helps make sure that we can assist the moms in our program with things like housing, utilities, transportation, and other urgent needs, which can make all the difference in helping them stay healthy and engaged in care.

Pictured is a favorite vintage photo of our exec director Anne Statton (at left) with her mom (at right) and three of her sisters.

Thanks again for helping us keep moms and babies healthy!

For National Women’s Health Week, our friends at Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) shared this important message:

“It's no secret that women often put their own health on the back burner to care for others in their life. But without healthy women, we won't have a healthy society.

“This , we're encouraging all women of all ages to make their health their priority.🩷 It's time to celebrate the resilience, empowerment, and unique experiences that shape women's well-being.”

This past Saturday, May 9, our exec director Anne Statton and members of her family participated in Cinco de Miler, a scenic 5-mile run that delivers a blend of fitness, fun, and fiesta. This year the event moved to Union Park in Chicago.

And best of all, this year’s event once again raised funds for Gilda's Club Chicago! Named in honor of the legendary Gilda Radner, Gilda's Club provides support groups, counseling, education, and much more for cancer patients, families, and friends navigating one of life's hardest roads.

We’re wishing you all a Happy ! 🌷 Here are a couple of photos of MACA team members who are moms themselves: Iyesha with her sons Darren & Daniel, and Denise with her son Izzy!

Huge thanks to everyone who’s donated to our Mother’s Day fundraiser so far! As of this writing, we’ve raised 87% of our goal to help support moms with HIV. Can you help put us over the top?

Donations will support the Dolores Fund, named after one of MACA’s longtime case managers.

This Sunday, May 10, is 🌷 — one of the holidays that's closest to our hearts! As we count down to the big day, we wanted to reshare this fantastic drawing by Daniel, one of the sons of our perinatal data manager Iyesha Duckworth. It captures the simple fact that moms are truly magical!

For more than 25 years, MACA has been providing pregnant women and their families with the resources, information, and support they need to make sure their babies are born free of HIV. Healthy babies come from healthy moms!

Help us support moms who are living with HIV by donating to MACA this Mother’s Day. Give a gift to honor a mother — your own mom, your daughter, your grandmother, or one of the many moms we proudly serve!

We’re lighting birthday candles in honor of the wildly creative, one-of-a-kind artist Keith Haring, who would have been 68 on May 4 this year. In addition to the eye-catching artwork that brought joy and meaning to so many people, he left behind a legacy of working to make the world a better and kinder place.

Although Keith passed away from AIDS-related complications in 1990, his spirit lives on not only through his art but through the foundation established in his name. The Keith Haring Foundation supports a wide array of organizations that assist children, as well as nonprofits involved in education, research and care related to HIV/AIDS — including Mother and Child Alliance.

We're so grateful to for his work, and to the foundation for the amazing work they continue to do in his name! Find out more about the Keith Haring Foundation here: https://www.haring.com/
