a foundation that seeks to advance Newborn Screening, research and treatments, and provides support to families of leukodystrophy children. Family advocacy is a critical part of advancing newborn screening, and many Krabbe families have made significant advocacy progress in their states. As an example, Cove Ellis is a child from Georgia, United States who was diagnosed with the disease in early 2016. Ellis' family, along with her community, has worked to raise awareness of the disease and helped pass "Cove's Law", which provides parents the option to have prenatal screening for the disease, which can, potentially, save the child from the morbidity and mortality of Krabbe disease. Other animals Krabbe disease is found in mice may also be found in cats and in dogs, particularly the West Highland White Terriers and Cairn Terriers.
