As co-founder of the Dare To Hope Foundation, I am always looking for valuable & real information on rare diseases. Jacob's Cure is an amazing resource for families affected by Canavan's Disease, dedicated to awareness, research and support for those families.

Jacob is magical and Jordana his mother is a real go getter. Please watch the video and see how much progress has been made in the treatment of this brain disease through Jacob's cure and how this science can help other too. The quality of life of these children and their families is improving all the time. It still takes a tremendous amount of effort and money to keep moving forward. Please give generously to Jacob's Cure and know that not one cent of your money or time will go to waste. You can feel proud that you you are helping families and improving the future of health care for us all.

Jordana Holovach has dedicated her life to saving the life of her son Jacob and lives of millions of others. I have worked side by side with Jordana and other members of the organization and can tell you first hand how extraordinary this charity is. Jacob's Cure educates and funds research in very successful and unique ways. Whether through their last Gala event or advertisements on Taxi TV or through the Helen Ficalora "smile" charm or the annual Casino night/Bowling event, Jacob's Cure, is always looking for new ways to spread awareness and raise funds and make sure family and friends of Jacob's Cure have fun in the process.

My son who is 3 years old now was diagnosed with Canavan at 5 months. Dr. Leone, who is the main researcher for Canavan Disease, gave me Jordana's information and referred me to Jacob's Cure site. It was just so great to get some sort of information and support about Canavan at the time when you are really lost and the doctors you see have absolutely no experience with this disease because it's so rare. Jacob's Cure Organization is the number one non-profit organization that has raised so much money for research through their hard work and dedication. Its the only thing that gives me HOPE that one day there will be a cure for Canavan Disease and my child will be able to walk and talk like a normal human being. Jordana and Jacob's Cure Organization are amazing for the work that they do to raise awareness and donations for this very rare and devastating disease.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
getting support and information on Canavan Disease when no one else could offer any help.

if it wasn't for Jordana and Jacob's cure we would of never known what to do when we found out our daughter Lilliana had canavan disease. i stumbled upon their website and contacted them to find out if they knew what i could do. Jordana emailed me within a few minutes of me clicking send and told me to contact the dr leone in New Jersey. we are very greatful for Jacobs cure. we wish we could only do more to help.
