The Hunter’s Hope Foundation was established in 1997 by Pro Football Hall of Fame member and former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly and his wife, Jill, after their infant son, Hunter, was diagnosed with Krabbe Disease (Globoid-Cell Leukodystrophy). The Foundation is the Kelly’s lifelong commitment to increase public awareness of Krabbe Disease and other leukodystrophies, as well as to increase the likelihood of early detection and treatment. The Foundation’s goal is to fund research efforts to identify new treatments, therapies and a cure for Krabbe Disease. To date, the Foundation has awarded over $3.8 million to leukodystrophy and other neurological disease related research.
