Please help families fight this terrible disease and provide their
children with the lives that they deserve to live.

JacobÂ’s Cure is a non-profit organization who is dedicated to finding
a treatment and ultimately a cure for the rare Canavan disease.
Canavan disease is a fatal genetic neurological disorder that affects
children at birth, one where the child becomes trapped inside their
own bodies. Since its inception in September 2000, JacobÂ’s Cure
allocates monies raised to research in gene-therapy, stem cell
transplantation, pharmacological approaches and basic science in
understanding Canavan disease. Their efforts to date have resulted in
successful gene-therapy trials and pharmaceutical interventions that
have, in most cases, stopped the progression of this quickly
deteriorating disorder in children afflicted with Canavan disease
worldwide.In addition, JacobÂ’s Cure is responsible for creating/
funding the Canavan Research lab at UMDNJ/SOM at the direction of Dr.
Paola Leone. The efforts at the CR lab focus solely on research and
intervention that will save the children dying of Canavan today.

They are currently participating in the Chase Community Giving. There
is only one day left to vote and we need your support in receiving
funds so that Jacob's Cure can work further towards finding a cure to
Canavan disease. Please vote today for Jacob's Cure

Thank you so much for your support and please spread the word, this is
an important and amazing cause.
