We want to extend a huge thank you to our Achieving Cures Together community. 2025 has been nothing short of inspiring; ACT celebrated our 10th birthday, funded the first year of an Ulcerative Colitis clinical trial at the University of Minnesota, and raised over $650,000 through the support of our Growing Hope attendees, marathon teams, pickleball tournament, and the incredible generosity of the ACT community. Your partnership is fueling the advancement of Microbiota Transplant Therapy research, providing hope to patients and their families, and ultimately saving lives. We are energized to continue expanding our mission and impact in 2026 and grateful for the ACT village of patients, friends, family members, and advocates who make this work possible.
