Great organization

I had the privelege of working with Accelerated Cure during a class in college. Everyone I met at the organization, including Art, the CEO, was friendly and open to working with our group. When we met, they were a very small group, but I'm pleased to see that they've been growing in success and numbers since our last contact.

I'd like to commend Accelerated Cure for their unique fundraiser: a scavenger hunt rather than a walk or a ride. It's a ton of fun and a great change of pace from the usual. In addition, Accelerated Cure has a very strong network with other MS organizations, focusing on finding a cure ASAP instead of fighting over funds. Not many other organizations truly "nurture their nonprofit networks." ("Forces for Good: The Six Practices of High-Impact Nonprofits"-- a great read)
