About Team Isaac

Team Isaac Team Isaac was established in 2022 in honor of Isaac Jacobson who lost his life to suicide on March 11, 2022.

The flag pictured above is awarded to teams that raise $5000 or more.
Together in both 2022 & 2023, Team Isaac walkers & donors raised 11,070.00 for Walk for Hope to fund research in partnership with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Department of Psychiatry.

Team Isaac will continue on with the WALK FOR HOPE 2024. We are seeking donors and team members to walk and help raise $ in support of mental health.

Together we are joining Walk For Hope 2024 to erase stigmas, raise awareness, and to raise $ to empower research efforts that will one day end mental illness and the dreadful perils that often accompany it.

We are grateful for the support of our family and friends that enabled us to champion an effort in our son's memory. We are grateful for your support.

Why am I fundraising?

Team Isaac We are raising money in memory of our son, Isaac (4/8/95- 3/11/22.) He was 26 years old when he died by suicide. In the picture above he was just beginning elementary school.

For the Walk for Hope 2024, we are embracing CHAAMP (Child and Adolescent Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program), launched by the Foundation for Hope in 2021. These efforts resonate in our hearts because we believe that as Isaac suffered from bullying, he may have also struggled with anxiety and or depression early in his life. As a youngster, Isaac was intelligent, gentle, kind, and compassionate as well as quiet, shy, and insecure. We don’t know if his traits contributed to Isaac becoming a target of elementary school peers.

I (Isaac’s mom) only knew he was bullied because he came home with multiple bruises on his arms, some fingerprint shaped. I'm not sure he would have told us about it. The elementary school Assistant Principal supported Isaac by coming into class until measures were taken to stop the bullying that occurred at that time. I don’t remember any follow up after the bullying apparently ceased. There was no referral to the school counselor, nurse, psychologist or teacher meeting for follow up. I didn't think about the long-term effects of bullying at the time. Isaac never told me if he was bullied after 2nd grade, but I imagine he was and would not talk about it. The bullying had been going on for some time before we were even aware.

We don’t know all the reasons that led Isaac to end his life. We will always grieve the loss of Isaac.

We participate in The Walk for Hope in the hope that effective treatments can be found & lives will be saved.
Sincerely, Steve & Carol Jacobson.
