Accelerating Cancer Research into Cures Curebound is a 501c3 that brings the top cancer research institutions in San Diego together in a collaborative effort to accelerate cancer research into cures.

Founded with a deeply held belief that cures are possible, our mission and vision is to accelerate cures in our lifetime, so that the next generation doesn’t have to experience a cancer diagnosis in the frightening way that too many of us do now. We believe that the next decade will be critical to the development of sophisticated, individualized cancer treatment and the largest opportunity ever seen to advance the way we treat and ultimately cure cancer. With all its unique resources, San Diego is poised to become a global hub of cancer research and the city where cures begin. Targeting areas of research where the greatest opportunities exist, Curebound is committed to investing $100 million into collaborative cancer.

Dyin 2 Live Dreams is a wish-granting program committed to helping those who are currently in the fight against cancer by giving them a one-of-a-kind “VIP Experience” that may be a source of hope, joy, and inspiration while they continue in their fight against these terrible diseases. Through our extensive network of friends, supporters, and partners, we put together our VIP Experiences, focusing on select music festivals, concerts, and sporting events throughout the year. We take our Dyin 2 Live Dreams recipients backstage and behind the scenes at these events to meet their favorite bands, artists, athletes, and celebrities. Meet-and-greets, signings, watching their favorite bands side stage, backstage access, media interviews, photo ops, and more are all apart of the VIP Experience! Our Dyin 2 Live Dreams recipients walk away from the experience with the will and determination to continue in their fight against cancer. We want to show them that life is worth fighting for and that no one fights alone.

Christian Hoff’s daughter Ella’s leukemia relapsed after six years of remission. She’s in her second year of treatment now and staying strong. As unbelievable as it sounds, after seeing his wife and daughter through cancer battles, Christian himself is facing a terminal bone marrow cancer called Multiple Myeloma. He has had a successful stem cell transplant and is in full recovery mode. They are now both in care at Duke Cancer Center. As Jim Valvano’s words remind us all, our commitment remains to “Never Give Up, Don’t Ever Give Up” in our fight against cancer!

HOFFS HEALING JOURNEY!

100k GOAL FOR THE HOFF FAMILY CANCER FIGHT! Last year Christian Hoff shared with us about a leukemia relapse for his youngest daughter Ella. She fought her first battle for three years as her mother Melissa was overcoming breast cancer. Now, her chemotherapy is challenging but the latest bone marrow test shows no new leukemia activity. UNBELIEVABLY, cancer has struck the Hoff family again. Ella is now fighting alongside her dad! Christian was diagnosed with the bone cancer Multiple Myeloma. He is recovering from a stem cell transplant currently and will remain in ongoing treatment. HOFF FAMILY NEEDS! Providing and caring for the family is a major concern. With Christian not able to tour or perform as before, there will be little to no income and ongoing cancer costs. HOFF FAMILY HELP! You can help our "Friends of the Hoffs" campaign become a giant gift of hope for Christian and the Hoff family for their "Healing Journey". The service is free to you and your gift will directly aid The Hoffs. As Christian has his focus on surviving and thriving, we can help the whole family do the same. Please join us now and share this story to help grow great love for this family and reach our initial goal of 100k! ~ Friends of the Hoff Family

Precision Medicine for All - At SOTERIA, we support a superior approach to cancer treatment, where the patient is at the center of globally curated resources to implement precision medicine and generate better outcomes despite geographic location, treating institution, or socioeconomic status. The founders and supporters of SOTERIA are personally familiar with a cancer diagnosis and believe that every cancer patient deserves access to the best care. SOTERIA challenges the one-size-fits-all approach to cancer treatment by leveraging the power of an individual's data to identify personalized, targeted treatment plans and provides access to the most relevant advanced technology and treatment options from the convenience of your own home. Advancements in genomics have enabled personalized, targeted cancer therapy, leading to better outcomes. As medicine becomes more multi-modal, no one individual or institution can be the leading expert in all areas., nor can we rely on existing institutions to lead this effort because there is no economic incentive. SOTERIA is a neutral entity that is required to synthesize medical & scientific experts to bridge the gap to navigate the complexities of precision medicine and help alleviate patient and physician burden to generate better outcomes.
