About Relay For Life:
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in a communities across the globe a change to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved one’s lost and fight back against the disease. Relay began in 1985 when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon in Tacoma, Washington, ran and walked around a track for 24 hours to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Since then, Relay has grown from a single man’s passion to fight cancer into the world’s largest movement to end the disease. Each year, more than 3.5 million people in 5,000 communities in the United States, along with additional communities in 20 other countries, gather to take part in the global phenomenon and raise much-needed funds and awareness to save lives from cancer.
