Anne Statton inducted into the Love Superhero Hall of Gratitude in May 2015 for unparralled commitment to women living with HIV in Chicago (and beyond!). Anne is the Executive Director for the Pediatric AIDS Chicago Prevention Initiative. In this capacity, she tirelessly supports the efforts to assure all babies born in the state of Illinois are born free of HIV.  Anne is a friend and mentor to many, willing to brainstorm and offer support and resources.  Telling of her deep commitment to this work, each year she participates in ambitious races to raise money for her organization. This year's goal? An Iron Man distance! Support her here. This woman is love 24/7.About the Love Superhero Hall of Gratitude!“The plain fact is that the world does not need more successful people, but it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane.” David OrrI deeply admire those who "live well in their places." The ordinary and the unsung who offer to the world the very best parts of themselves without expectation. This is a beautiful expression of love in her calm, persistent, generous manner - offering a ripple of change (a metamorphosis) to the world. Inductees to the Love Superhero Hall of Gratitude are caped in recognition of their contributions to a love-filled world.
