"We've got brain cancer surrounded." Our brother, Kory Hunter, passed away peacefully on May 18th after a 22 month battle with brain cancer. He was 43 years old.

The essence of Kory was selfless giving. He volunteered every chance he could. He felt a strong need to give back to the community and to help others less fortunate. He helped build homes in Mexico, volunteered at his local church in feeding the homeless, and served on the PTA Board at the local elementary school. In 2013, even during treatment, he served as a representative to the local school foundation, and helped set up camp and raise funds for children with medical needs. And finally, when his health precluded him from continuing at work, Kory called his church to see what volunteer work he could do from home. Kory never complained about his illness and continued to keep a selfless attitude, always caring about the well being of others. His largest frustration was losing his independence, and his biggest regret was saying goodbye to his adoring wife and three young children. Kory is survived by his spouse, Rory, his children, Ethan, Dylan and Kailey, his parents, Jim and Joanne Hunter, his mother and father-in-law, Judy and Mike Morrison, his sister and brother-in-law, Mandy and Heath Gregory, and his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Riley and Kelli Morrison. The 8 circles in the UKF logo symbolize his children, nephews and niece who consumed such a large part of his heart. Through the Uncle Kory Foundation, we are able to keep the spirit of Uncle Kory alive - helping patients and families affected by all forms of cancer, but particularly brain cancer.

Research is the reason we can keep moving forward.

To date, we’ve funded more than $4.7 million in brain cancer research and there’s so much more to come!

Every grant represents another opportunity to make a discovery, answer an important question, and move us closer to a future without brain cancer.

This World Cancer Research Day, we’re celebrating the progress made possible by our incredible supporters and looking ahead to what’s next. 💛

$4.7 million funded. More research. More progress. More hope.
