From the Organizer
Join us for the Second Annual Warriors of Hope 5K & 1K Fun Run held in loving memory of Irene Aragon, a remarkable woman who bravely fought gastric cancer before passing away in November 2023. Though Irene is no longer with us, her family has come together to continue her mission of spreading awareness and supporting those impacted by stomach cancer.
Why HOPE and This Event Matter
Stomach cancer is often diagnosed at a later stage, when patients have fewer options. Changing that starts with awareness, education, and access. When stomach cancer is found earlier, it opens the door to more treatment options, more time, and more hope—for patients and their families.
A diagnosis doesn’t just impact the body—it affects every part of life. HOPE exists to make sure no one faces that journey alone. Through resources, education, community, and advocacy, we are working to improve outcomes and bring more visibility to a cancer that is too often overlooked.
This event is held in honor of Irene Aragon, whose strength and spirit continue to inspire this community. Her story is a reminder of why this work matters—and why showing up for one another matters.
Our run does more than raise funds—it brings people together, raises awareness, and helps drive change.
In 2025, our inaugural year, 250 people ran, walked, or cheered in person and around the US for stomach cancer patients. This year, we’re aiming to double that. If each participant brings just one more person, we can grow this event and its impact in a meaningful way.
Warriors of Hope - Irene's 5K will take place on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at Meyer Park in Spring, Texas where families and friends of HOPE will gather to do something simple but powerful: walk, jog, connect, and be present together outdoors.
This event is about awareness, community, and support. If you’re not a runner or a walker, that’s okay—we need you too. Come cheer, volunteer, share a story, or simply be there.
