Kure It Cancer Research: Mary's Story

Kure It Cancer Research began as a personal mission and quickly transformed into a vibrant nonprofit with a mission to help shape the landscape of cancer research and make a difference for all those touched by this devastating disease. Founded by Barry Hoeven in 2007, the idea to establish Kure It came after Barry was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 1998 while on a family vacation. Never a man to accept the first offer, Barry began to compile information about his cancer immediately after his initial diagnosis and reached out to speak with prominent specialists in the field. He recognized early on that there was a grave disconnect between the number of people afflicted with kidney cancer and the amount of funding and research being conducted to find a cure. It became clear to him that the fight for his life began with a fight for research funding. In April of 2007, Barry partnered with City of Hope to create a fund called Kure It! Kidney Cancer Research Fund, which raised over $400,000 with the help of friends, family and colleagues. The aim of the Kure It! fund inspired so many that it was clear Kure It needed to expand outside of a personal fund into something bigger. In January 2010, Kure It, Inc. was established as an independent non-profit 501(c)(3) organization; allowing for a broader range of research opportunities resulting in a greater impact. In June of 2016 Barry passed away after an 18 year battle with Kidney Cancer. His vision continues to inspire the Kure It Cancer Research team every day as we work to carry on his passion, generosity, kindness and vision. Today, Kure It continues on, striving each day to Fight for a Kure by granting funds to innovative research projects for underfunded cancers at leading cancer centers around the United States and beyond.
