Relay for Life

What can one person do to change lives of those around him? In 1985, Dr. Gordy Klatt from Tacoma took steps to make a difference for cancer patients. As a surgeon he wondered what more could he do to help those with cancer. He took his love for running and used it to raise $27,000. This was the humble beginning for Relay for Life, a 24 hour event used to raise money in the fight against cancer.

In 2003 the Relay for Life raised $265 million at over 4,300 sites around the world. To find out more about Relay for Life visit: American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.
