Nowhere is that more evident than with the story of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life, which began in Tacoma, Washington. In the mid-1980s, Dr. Gordy Klatt, a Tacoma colorectal surgeon, wanted to enhance the income of his local American Cancer Society office and to show support for all of his patients who had battled cancer. He decided to personally raise money for the fight by doing something he enjoyed – running marathons.. . In May 1985, Dr. Klatt spent 24 hours circling the track, going more than 83 miles and raising $27,000 to fight cancer. The next year, with the help of Pat Flynn the "relay" aspect was born, with 19 teams taking part and raising $33,000. . . Now there are 5200 Relay events across the United States.
