SURVIVOR AND CAREGIVER LAPS 7:00 PM RIGHT AFTER THE CEREMONY
In 1985, Dr Gordy Klatt was searching for a way to make a difference in the lives of the increasing number of patients he was seeing who diagnosed with cancer. He decided to try a new fundraising idea and walked/jogged around the track in Tacoma Washington’s University of Puget Sound for 24 hours. He was often joined by friends and patients who watched and supported him as he walked/jogged a grueling 83.6 miles. He raised $27,000 for the American Cancer Society’s mission to save lives from cancer. That was great, but he wanted a way to bring more people to the cause. He came up with the idea of having teams take turns walking the track in a Relay format and the next year, was joined by 19 teams.
