Uncle Kory Foundation

Today is National Gray Day 🩶

Gray represents strength, courage, and hope for those affected by brain cancer.

Wear gray and stand with the brain tumor community!

Despite how devastating brain cancer can be, historically only a small percentage of cancer research funding has gone toward brain tumors.
More awareness leads to more urgency. More urgency leads to progress.

Glioblastoma accounts for nearly 50% of malignant brain tumors.

GBM grows quickly, can spread into nearby brain tissue, and remains one of the most difficult cancers to treat. Current treatment often includes surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, but more research is urgently needed.

That’s why Uncle Kory Foundation is committed to funding hope.

Today we celebrate Kory 💛

What started from heartbreak has grown into something so powerful. Through the Uncle Kory Foundation and Tour de Pier, Kory’s legacy lives on in every life touched by the research and support we help fund.

Through his legacy, millions of dollars have been raised to support innovative brain cancer research, while families navigating a diagnosis have found meaningful care and community. His impact continues to move us closer to better treatments and, one day, a cure.

Kory continues to inspire a community that shows up, gives back, and rides for something bigger than themselves. We are so proud to honor him in everything we do.

Happy Birthday, Kory. Your impact is everywhere 💛
