Jacob’s Ladder, The Canadian Foundation for the Control of Neurodegenerative Disease is a charitable organization founded in 1998, which aims to benefit children like Jacob Schwartz and reduce the occurrences of neurodegenerative disease in the future. A group of dedicated business and community leaders, doctors, researchers and concerned parents came together to form this organization. Genumarkers Aaron Greenberg and Mark Freed have known Jacob’s parents for many years and they have contributed to the events for some time.

After the hugely successful Jake’s Gigantic Give event that took place on November 24 and 25 this message was posted from Jacob and his family:
Alone we can do so little, together we can so much! Helen Keller We think Jacob would say the same thing….Look what we did together! Hundreds came to discover magic PURE MAGIC. All of you helped in your own unique and powerful way. Thousands of gifts were given away to those who need them the most. Hundreds of teenagers were role models leading youngsters on a mission of kindness. This weekend showcased the contagious and heartfelt power that we all have in us to give unconditionally and unselfishly. Look what people are saying….“My kids learned a valuable lesson about giving to others. “
“Incredibly Inspiring.”
“Maddy went to bed in her angel shirt as she said it made her “feel good.”
“Jack felt so proud of himself and his brothers for donating gifts to others. As he was going to bed tonight, Jack said that he was proud of his little brothers for doing a mitzvah – I think that is pretty special coming from a four year old boy.”
