HAMBURG, N.Y. (AP) -- Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly and his wife buried their 8-year-old son Tuesday with a promise to continue their fight against the disease that claimed his life.
Hunter James Kelly died Friday following a lifelong struggle with Krabbe disease, an inherited nervous system disorder that claims most of its victims in their first two years of life.
``We will not give up, back down or surrender until we have helped every family,'' Jill Kelly said in a recorded message that played as family photographs flashed above a small green casket flanked by two stuffed giraffes.
