Jason Moore, who with trainer Amy Shahan Fleming founded Koshy's Kids (previously profiled here), a group dedicated to raising funds for children with cancer as well as raise interest in harness racing amongst children needs our help. Jason, who is a battling cancer (in remission) has recently suffered a set back with unrelated kidney and liver problems. As with many people, Jason does not have health insurance and now must deal with the medical bills.
Thanks to some people in the industry an effort has been launched to help Jason. In order to help Jason; not only to help pay his medical bills but to keep his dream of Koshy's Kids alive, please consider lending a hand. There are several ways to do so.
On Sunday, August 9 (the day after the Hambletonian) a a fundraiser for Jason will be held at La Scala restaurant at 117 North Gaston Avenue in Somerville, New Jersey. The cost is $100 per person.
