The 20th Annual Heather Ridley-Fleeman Battle for Hope aims to raise awareness for colon cancer and funds supporting the programs of Hope Cancer Resources. The Battle for Hope was started by a group of friends and family of Heather Ridley-Fleeman 20 years ago and has since positively impacted the lives of thousands of cancer patients.

Hope Cancer Resources is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide compassionate, professional cancer support and education in the Northwest Arkansas region today and tomorrow. This event helps to support our vision to provide hope and enhance the quality of life by expanding prevention, wellness, and comprehensive cancer support services in our region. We provide all of our services at no cost to patients and their families, including transportation to every cancer treatment as-needed, and education to help patients during and after their treatment. We provide financial assistance for prescription medications, nutritional supplements, dental care, gas cards, and everyday living expenses to alleviate some of the financial stress patients and their families may face. Additionally, our licensed mental health professionals provide individual and group counseling.
