The Inspirational Jim Kelly

in Hope and Healing

Hall of Fame Buffalo Bills Quarterback Jim Kelly's story is legendary.

But for the fans who watched his remarkable, and heartbreaking, career with the four Super Bowl appearances that never led to a championship, there is another side to the Kelly legend. Jim's only son, Hunter, died of globoid cell leukodystrophy. Since Hunter's death, Jim has been a tremendous champion for kids with leukodystrophy through the Hunter's Hope Foundation. We were so proud to see him recognized at this year's ESPY Awards with the Jimmy V Perseverance Award.

There was not a dry eye in the Microsoft Theatre as Jim shared the wisdom, love, and sadness that comes from loving a child with leukodystrophy.
