Organiser's Description
Join us for the inaugural Mission Hope 5K: Rocket City Run for Pediatric Brain Cancer Research, benefiting Princess Hailey's Hope Foundation, a Huntsville-based nonprofit dedicated to funding pediatric brain cancer research and supporting children and families facing these devastating diagnoses.
Held during Brain Tumor Awareness Month, Mission Hope brings our community together to honor the children who have battled pediatric brain cancer, celebrate the warriors still fighting, and raise critical funds to accelerate research for better treatments and cures.
The event was inspired by our daughter, Hailey, who battled Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) for 17 months before passing away at age 4. DIPG and Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG) are among the deadliest forms of childhood cancer, with most children surviving less than a year after diagnosis. Despite decades of research, treatment options remain limited, making the need for continued investment in research more urgent than ever.
Hosted in the heart of Rocket City, Mission Hope reflects the spirit of innovation, discovery, and perseverance that defines Huntsville. Just as space exploration pushes the boundaries of what is possible, we believe research can help change the future for children diagnosed with brain cancer.
Whether you're a seasoned runner, casual walker, survivor, family member, or community supporter, every step you take helps fund hope for children and families facing pediatric brain cancer.
Together, we can power up research, fuel hope, and move closer to a cure.
100% of race proceeds support pediatric brain cancer research and family support programs through Princess Hailey's Hope Foundation.

More research. More hope. More tomorrows.
