Run for Healing. Walk for Hope.

Run for Healing. Walk for Hope.

Support Breast Cancer Survivors Beyond Treatment.
The Faith Through Fire 5K is our largest fundraiser of the year — bringing our community together to support breast cancer survivors not just through treatment, but through the emotional healing that comes after.

Every step taken and every dollar raised helps women move from survival to thriving.
Why This 5K Matters

Why This 5K Matters

Breast cancer treatment saves lives — but for many women, it also leaves behind fear, anxiety, and trauma that don’t simply disappear when treatment ends. 

The medical system does an incredible job addressing the physical side of cancer. 

Faith Through Fire exists to address the emotional side. 

Funds raised through the Faith Through Fire 5K directly support: 

  • Peer-to-peer survivor mentorship 
  • Trauma-informed mental health support 
  • Survivorship bootcamps that help women regain confidence, clarity, and purpose

This 5K fuels programs that walk with survivors long after the last appointment — when support is often hardest to find.
