Jacob's Cure takes NYC! See our 30 second Taxi TV ad, which showed in 5,500 taxi cabs throughout NYC in December of 2009. It will air again on February 28, 2010, National Rare Disease Day, so be sure to look for it!

  • Please Give your son a huge hug and a huge kiss from me! Tell him who I am. Let him know that I and my Family are praying for all of you. And spreading the word about Canavan disease. Tell him I am PROUD to call his Mommy my new friend. Tell him That I have MS. Please tell him he is VALUED. Tell him That in his lifetime with the courage you all have developed through him, that the Cures for many diseases may be found along the way. God Bless you all.xxxxoooo Violet

  • @violetmatthers Thank you so much for your message, Violet. We hope our Canavan research will also help find a cure for MS. It is a pleasure to "meet" you.

  • Please Google Dr Kamboni Studies in Italy. The Dr who has probably found a cure for MS. The two could be linked. Dr MICHAEL D. DAKE, M.D. also . He is at Stanford . A cardiovascular Surgeon. Please have a look. I find it very interesting. Perhaps connected to your son's Disease. God Bless You.

  • Thank you, Violet! This is very interesting information.

see all

  • your funny

  • That bay sitting next to Jacob at 0:11 is so cute.

    Good luck finding a cure.

  • im gonna tex there! :)

  • hmm i dont really think canavan is that bad but then again if it constantly attacks brain nerve cells im pretty sure it is... i mean it might end up taking away ur control of a body part i think... so yeah good luck with the cures

  • @BigWheelaCatPeelaYea: That's the tragedy of recessive genetic defects. One bad recessive gene does no harm (usually), but two of the same bad recessive gene and you get the disease.

  • @violetmatthers Thanks as well

  • what kind of "preventative" measures? either you have children or you don't. Are we to assume that if Jacob's parents were tested then they would have chosen not to have children? how sad
