Middle Finger 5k

Save the Date - Saturday, May 9, 2026

Join us for a beautiful sunrise start!

When my son, Max, completed his treatments for rare brain cancer,  I knew I wanted to give back to the community that rallied for us when we were facing our most difficult days. With each sunrise during his diagnosis, we found hope for another day. On a whim, I organized a sunrise run with all proceeds going to Thrive To Survive to support those battling cancer in the Finger Lakes. Your participation immediately supports our neighbors! 

The name.... well, Seneca Lake is (one of) the Middle Finger Lakes...

We undoubtedly give a one-finger salute to cancer!! ♥

If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact jen@thrivetosurvive.org.

Elieen shares her amazing story about how Thrive to Survive has helped her and how we can help others.
