Cayuga Health announces that registration is open for the 2024 Cancer Resource Center of the Finger Lakes Walkathon and 5K, a heartfelt community event dedicated to raising funds and awareness for cancer support services. The event will take place from 8 a.m. – Noon on Saturday, October 5 at Cass Park, Ithaca.
The Walkathon aims to bring together families, friends and supporters for a day of unity and hope. Participants of all ages and abilities are invited to join the easy, two-mile walk along the Riverfront Trail. Breakfast from the Silver Spoon is available for pre-purchase during registration, including gluten-free and vegan options.
Proceeds from the Walkathon will directly benefit the Cancer Resource Center’s programs and services, which provide crucial support to area cancer patients and their families. To show your support, sign up today to walk, run the 5K, volunteer, start a fundraising team, or simply donate by clicking the Walkathon banner at www.crcfl.net. Early registration is encouraged to receive a commemorative event t-shirt and access to exclusive pre-walk perks.
“It’s amazing to see how everyone comes out of the woodwork around Walkathon to show how much and how deeply we all care for our friends, family, and neighbors affected by cancer,” said Carla Baudrons, Donor Relations and Marketing Coordinator for the Cancer Resource Center. “No one should face cancer alone, and it’s truly because of the generosity of our community that we’re able to make sure they don’t!”

what our patients are saying
“I have to say the last couple visits that I’ve had here have been wonderful. About a month ago I had an EGD and the staff were amazing! Explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. I was very nervous and the nurse I had was very comforting. Tonight we had to take my son to the emergency room and they were awesome with him! We got right in. “
“I have been a Hemo dialysis patient for almost Five years. Prior to dialysis and during dialysis I have had several trips to the ER, due to other health issues & was admitted to CMC more than a few times. Each and every time I’ve been there, whether in patient or out, I have been treated with respect, professionalism, and efficiency. I give this hospital 2 thumbs up!! Thank you CMC for taking care of me all these years!!”
“I have had many occasions visiting CMC for myself and family. We have never had a bad experience there at all. Last October I had surgery and the nurses were amazing especially my night nurse. Thank you to all CMC staff for doing what you do every day with a smile.”
“The staff and accommodations at Cayuga Birthplace are amazing!!! This is what it I imagine it would feel like to be a celebrity getting VIP treatment. I wish I could stay longer – even the food options are 5 Star! The amenities are great. Everything is clean and designed beautifully. Not a single complaint, only praises!”
