Here is a mitzvah project from the heart!
Jacob Cantor was born with complex congenital heart disease. He has had multiple open heart surgeries and many procedures. Because of this, he has become committed to the cause of research and the treatment of heart disease. He has participated in many medical studies for the benefit of other patients. He has been a volunteer with the Connecticut Chapter of the American Heart Association. His story was featured at the American Heart Association's CT fundraiser at Mohegan Sun last May. He is planning a team for the AHA's Hartford walk - a- thon in the fall. He also has been in discussions with the Foundation of the Connecticut Children's Medical Center to tell his story and inspire support for the Cardiology unit at the Center. Jacob doesn't view his involvement and his volunteer activities as a one time or even once a year event. He will continue to be involved in helping the Heart Assoc, other families with congenital heart disease and the CT Children's Medical Center and the Children's Hospital in Boston.
If you would like to get involved in this work too, you can contact Jacob and his family at shaboyz@comcast.net
