About Irene’s 5K: Warriors of Hope

Run. Walk. Honor. Hope.
Irene’s 5K: Warriors of Hope is more than just a race—it’s a powerful tribute to the strength, courage, and unyielding spirit of Irene, a beloved mother, wife, friend, and fierce stomach cancer warrior. This annual event brings together families, survivors, caregivers, and advocates in a united stand against stomach cancer, raising awareness and hope for early detection, better treatment, and ultimately, a cure.

Why We Run
Irene fought stomach cancer with resilience and grace, never letting go of her hope. Her journey ignited a movement—one rooted in love, advocacy, and the drive to ensure no one fights this disease alone. Irene’s 5K honors her memory and uplifts those still in the fight. Every step we take brings us closer to a future where survival is the rule, not the exception.
