Hope For Jacob
Your support can make a difference for all kids with dementia
Jacob Chalmers
Jacob has Sanfilippo Syndrome. Without treatment, he will not live to adulthood. You can help children like Jacob by contributing to our campaign to raise funds to progress critical research, care, and advocacy for all childhood dementia conditions.
Jacob is a gorgeous little man. I have never seen a child with a thirst for life like Jacob. He wakes up beaming. He brightens every room he enters with his coy and mischievous smile. He bursts with love and energy. He loves his sisters, Jamison and Alexis so much and everyone around him.
Jacob was just two years old when he was diagnosed with Sanfilippo. Our lives were in those few minutes following diagnosis, seemingly destroyed. Every day we got up with this great black shadow looming over our family. Yet we had to get up and make every day a special, wonderful and happy new day for Jacob.
We love this little man so much and we are haunted by the days we may never spend with him. But this is not about us, this is about Jacob and our hope for Jacob.
One thing has always stood out - Jacob was born to live, Jacob was born to shine. We hope and pray that this campaign will bring awareness, funds, access to a treatment and one day a cure for all children with dementia.
