CANANDAIGUA – The 16th annual Crosswinds 5K raised more than $5,000 for the Patient Needs Fund at Wilmot Cancer Institute’s Sands Cancer Center on the Thompson Health campus.

Since the 5K’s inception, approximately $65,000 has been raised for the fund, which helps patients who are undergoing active treatment and have identified financial constraints. It
assists with the unexpected costs of a long illness, providing financial assistance for necessities such as groceries, automobile fuel for transportation to/from medical appointments, and specialized medical needs.

Hosted by Crosswinds Wesleyan Church in Canandaigua, this year’s 5K took place on Sept. 2. There were a total of 209 runners and walkers, ranging in age from 5 to 85.

PCR Timing provided the chip timing and results. 

Open winners were:

  • Gabriel Stash, 16, of Rushville, with a time of 17:54
  • Molly Smith, 14, of Canandaigua, with a time of 23:11

    Masters winners were:
  • Edward Juliana, 54, of Henrietta, with a time of 20:41
  • Lisa Bounds, 52, of Shortsville, with a time of 26:46

    The coordinators are grateful to all who participated, volunteered, and sponsored this event including the top three sponsors: Rueckwald Management Corp., Finger Lakes Dental Care, and Trombley Tire and Auto.
