"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.

WHY DO WE FUND PEDIATRIC CANCER RESEARCH?
For the children behind every diagnosis.
For the families who need more answers.
For the treatments that haven’t been discovered yet.
And for a future where no child has to face brain cancer.
The Uncle Kory Foundation has funded more than $4.7 million in brain cancer research — and we’re not stopping here.
For Kalea. For Noah. For every child. 💛

CHILDHOOD CANCER RESEARCH NEEDS MORE INVESTMENT. SO WE’RE HELPING FUND IT. 🔬
At our Fight Like the Averys Comedy Night, our community came together to raise $80,000, and our $15,000 matching gift was fully met.
Those dollars are helping move pediatric brain cancer research forward through the F.L.A.G. Grant, providing critical funding for researchers working toward better treatments and better outcomes for children facing brain cancer.
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month may be coming to an end, but the need for research doesn’t.
One night. One incredible community. More research ahead.

CHILDREN DESERVE BETTER TREATMENTS. RESEARCH IS HOW WE GET THERE. 🔬
Progress in childhood cancer depends on researchers asking new questions, pursuing new approaches, and having the funding needed to move promising ideas forward.
More research means more opportunities for discovery, more treatment options, and better outcomes for children and families facing cancer.
We’re grateful to Dr. O’Halloran and Dr. Margol from for joining us at Fight Like the Averys Comedy Night and sharing their expertise with our community. Their conversation helped shine a light on the importance of pediatric cancer research, the progress being made, and the work still ahead.
Because every child facing cancer deserves the possibility of a better treatment and a better future. 💛

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.
