Welcome to the Hunter’s Hope Resource Library!

This is a library for affected families, medical professionals, scientists, and others with interest. It was created to provide easy access for the entire Leukodystrophy community and others who may benefit from the information and hope shared.

Please stay as long as you like. Grab a comfy chair, your favorite drink, and browse to your heart’s content.

We are so happy you are here!

The Library will be continually updated. So, please return often. If you have any comments, questions, or ideas for adding to the Library, please email info@huntershope.org. We would love to hear from you!
