5% of donations from online sales of Line-King products help benefit charity.

Leukodystrophies are a group of rare, progressive, metabolic, genetic diseases that affect the brain, spinal cord and often the peripheral nerves. Each type of leukodystrophy is caused by a specific gene abnormality that leads to abnormal development or destruction of the white matter (myelin sheath) of the brain. The myelin sheath is the protective covering of the nerve and nerves can't function normally without it. Each type of leukodystrophy affects a different part of the myelin sheath, leading to a range of neurological problems.

Here in the Western New York region, Jill and Jim Kelly's son Hunter was affected by this disease and was unfortunately taken from the world at an all too early age.

They founded Hunter's Hope Foundation to raise awareness for Leukodystrophies and to champion for Newborn Screening.

5% of all Line-King sales during this period will be donated to their foundation
