Jacob Moore – Super Bowl Cancer Fundraiser

Many thanks to everyone that participated in the Scarborough and Friends Foundation fundraiser  for Jacob this year to help offset many of the expenses we are incurring at this time. We are so blessed to have so many people in our lives that want to help!


To keep up with Jacob’s condition and offer prayers and support

Heidi has set up a CaringBridge website to post updates about Jacob’s condition with a journal. On this website, you can keep track of how Jacob is doing, see pictures, leave a message on the guestbook, or just receive e-mail notification when the journal is updated.

To visit Jacob at home

Jacob is back at home and attending school when he can. He still has many doctor and therapy appointments, chemotherapy once a month and spinal taps every 3 months. We are very pleased with his progress and him continuing to be in remission!

Jacob loves to have visitors, so friends and family are welcome to come visit him at home. However, the family does ask to please not come if you are sick in any way due to Jacob’s low immune system at the current time. Hope to see you soon!

Fight for Jacob and his family

Over the years, Heidi Moore has served as a tireless advocate for people with disabilities in Georgia — holding rallies at the Capitol, speaking to organizations across Georgia, meeting with legislators, working with the media, and keeping everyone in the disability community updated with her newsletter. Her motivation and inspiration: her son Jacob, who was born with Down syndrome, and his brother, Jared.

Jacob has also fought for advocacy in his own way by shattering barriers and winning friends with his infectious smile. Behind them all along the way were Jared and Heidi’s husband, Steven.

On 11/13/09, the Moore family received the devastating news that 9-year-old Jacob was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and that there would be a long road ahead of them for treating Jacob’s condition (3 ½ year chemotherapy treatment plan). The community responded with an overwhelming outpouring of love, support, and prayers after hearing the news. So, this site is dedicated to giving this wonderfully supportive community the opportunity to help.

To donate time and meals

We have set up a LotsaHelpingHands website that allows people to volunteer to bring meals, clean, and provide other service opportunities to the family. The site very easily lets you volunteer to help and then look at a calendar with a list of their needs for the week and select where you would like to help. Please note: At this time, The Moore Family is not requesting meal donations. Thank you for all your support this last year. If they do need support, you will receive an email.
