We actually did it and they agreed to increase the funding for pancreatic research which honestly still feels like a total dream. I am sitting here staring at the screen and just shaking because Bill and Brian worked so hard for this. Please keep looking out for each other even …

The Hoyler-Hunt Fight Against Cancer is an opportunity to bring awareness to Cancer; more specifically, pancreatic cancer.

Roughly 789,620 men will be diagnosed with cancer this year. Out of that number it is estimated that 569,490 of those men will die. A large majority of men are not diagnosed early enough to successfully treat their cancer, and this is due in large part to the lack of awareness.

Cancer is something that has directly affected both Hoyler and Hunt. Bill Hoyler was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer 5 years ago and has been fighting it ever since. Brian, on the other hand, became aware of the devastating effects of pancreatic cancer this year when his father was diagnosed with this deadly form of cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the DEADLIEST CANCERS

Pancreatic cancer is the 10th most commonly diagnosed cancer and the 4th leading cause of cancer death in the United States.

It is the hope of Hoyler and Hunt to raise awareness of this deadly form of cancer and to fight it at every step. Both longtime fans of Mixed Martial Arts, the two thought that the Ufc would be the perfect match for raising awareness of the deadly effects pancreatic cancer and to fight it to its end.

Hoyler and Hunt are on a mission to not only fight pancreatic cancer, but to also team of with some of the fiercest fighters on the planet. It is their hope to gain the attention of Dana White and the Ufc to put together a fight card for a special night of fights to put pancreatic cancer in its place.

Hoyler and Hunt are collecting signatures and reaching out to Dana White and the Ufc and Scott Coker and StrikeForce in hopes of raising awareness, raising funds, and helping those with pancreatic cancer fight the good fight. Please join us on our mission and this Fight Against Cancer.

Why is there still so little research for this specific one? It is time we start talking about this more openly.
