The LaRena Smith Bengoa Run, Ride or Walk for the Cure

06/19/2026

Maybe you’ve looked in the mirror, stepped on the scale, struggled to get off the floor, or simply realized you don’t feel like yourself anymore.

The good news?

You don’t have to leap out of the hole overnight.

Just like digging a hole took time, climbing out takes time too.

One healthy meal won’t change everything. One workout won’t change everything. One good night’s sleep won’t change everything.

But each one is another shovel full of dirt moved in the right direction.

Start small.
Take a walk.
Drink more water.
Get to bed a little earlier.
Strength train twice this week.

The people who transform their health aren’t usually the ones who make the biggest changes. They’re the ones who keep showing up for the small changes over and over again.

If you don’t like where your health is today, don’t focus on how deep the hole feels.

Focus on the next shovel full.

Keep digging.

Your future self will thank you.

🌼 A Special Thank You During National Cancer Survivors Month 🌼

June is National Cancer Survivors Month, a time to celebrate the strength, courage, and resilience of those who have faced cancer and continue to inspire others every day.

The LaRena Smith Bengoa Run, Ride or Walk for the Cure would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Larry and Donna Wirthlin for their generous donation. Your support helps us continue our mission of assisting individuals and families as they navigate the challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis.

Donna's journey as a cancer survivor is a powerful reminder of the hope, determination, and courage that so many survivors embody. This month, we honor survivors like Donna and celebrate the impact they have on their families, friends, and communities.

☀️National May Ray Day ☀️reminds us that even in the darkest moments, there is still light to be found. At LaRena Smith Bengoa Run, Ride or Walk, we honor every warrior fighting through cancer treatments, every survivor learning to heal, and every family standing beside them through the journey.

Some days the light shines brightly. Other days it’s simply the strength to keep going. But every step, every treatment, every victory — no matter how small — is a ray of hope worth celebrating.

Today, we encourage you to shine your light for someone battling cancer, someone in recovery, or someone remembering a loved one. Together, we continue to spread hope, courage, and love through every mile we walk, run, and ride.

If you or a loved one need assistance through treatments please reach out to us @

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms, grandmas, bonus moms, and mother figures in our community. 💜🌸

We see every day the strength, compassion, and endless love that mothers give to their families — especially during life’s hardest moments. Today, we celebrate the women who hold hands through treatments, offer comfort during uncertain times, and continue to show up with courage and grace.

Thank you for the love you pour into others. We hope today brings you the same kindness and support you so freely give.
Wishing you a beautiful Mother’s Day filled with love, memories, and precious moments with those who matter most. 🌷💜
