Jon Mathew Graefser, aka The Warrior
Our son’s name is Jon Mathew Graefser. He was blessed to have had the opportunity to hunt with The 1687 Foundation.
At the time we were contacted by Jerry from the foundation, Jon was 13-years-old and was actively battling medulloblastoma (terminal brain cancer) for the second time of his short life.
We were travelling back and forth to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN for experimental treatment. About seven months prior to being contacted by Jerry, Jon’s cancer had unexpectedly returned after almost five years in remission. We were given a grim prognosis of zero chance of survival and about twelve months left with Jon by his medical team. We were crushed, facing our worst nightmare.

Garrett Gill, First Time Hunter and Jerry Rainey, 1687 Foundation Guide
Perfect! Absolutely Perfect!
That is the only description of Garrett Gill's hunt hosted by the 1687 Foundation sponsored by Buckmasters via Camp Able of Buffalo Gap, TX. There is no doubt that every aspect and every imaginable contingency needed to set this young man up for success was put in place.
The ranch team speedily made the modifications Garrett would need to have a great experience and the accommodations were nothing short of phenomenal.
From swapping strategies, position, and guns on a helicopter, to adding, training, and implementing an adaptive shooting system, it just flowed seamlessly! Garrett had everything he needed to be safe and successful.
