We originally created this blog to keep family and friends updated about our little man Jacob, who was diagnosed in the summer of 2011 with a rare, life-limiting genetic disease called Niemann-Pick (type A/B). Jacob earned his angel wings on November 15, 2012, but remains our daily inspiration and constant reminder that we must live in the moment and fill each day with JOY, LAUGHTER and an abundance of LOVE.

MOVEMBER


Nope…there’s no typo in this blog title. The month of November is being appropriately renamed as “Movember” thanks to Jake’s Uncle Jeff and his firefighter buddies who came up with a fun way to help raise money for Jacob – grow a mustache for the entire month of November. The rules are quite simple and might I add…very entertaining.
Josh will also be growing (or at least attempting to grow) a stache along with everyone else who is helping to support Jacob and raising awareness. In fact, Josh has been rather excited about Movember since he is obsessed with mustaches, even though he much prefers the look of the fake stick on ones.
Please visit the Mo Bros 4 Jacob Facebook page for more details and to share in the mustache growing fun. You can also review the official rules below.
Anyone interested in growing a sweet stache for Movember or supporting someone who does can visit the Support a Mo Bro 4 Jacob FundRazr site to make a mustache growing pledge or sponsor someone who is growing one.
 Rules to become a Mo Bros or Mo Sista:
1) Pledge a minimum $5 to Register using the link on this page: Mo Bros 4 Jacob

2) Agree to grow a Stache for the entire month of Movember.....no shaving a week in no matter how creepy you may look. Mo Sistas agree to supporting their man in his Stache growing efforts by telling him on a daily basis how manly his Soup Strainer makes him look.

3) Seek out sponsorship for your Mo-growing effort from friends and family, using your Lip Rug as a walking, talking billboard for the next 30 days of November to spread Jacob’s story
4) Groom, trim, and wax your Mouth Brow, following these guidelines to having a true Mo:
 a.) There is to be no joining of the Mo to side burns – that’s a beard!
 b.) There is to be no joining of the handlebars – that’s a goatee!
 c.) A small complimentary growth under the bottom lip is allowed
5) Post pictures of your Mo growing adventures as often as possible
6) Final and most important rule: Each Mo Bro must conduct himself like a true gentleman

If Jake can grow a stache...so can you!!!


Did we mention Josh's obsession with fake mustaches?? Jakers has been subjected to many different styles : )

Please post pictures to the Facebook page throughout the month and/or send pics to sarahpbrooks@aol.com, as we can’t wait to see all the friendly faces of those supporting our little man Jake.
