WHAT is Relay For Life? 

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives  
everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people  
who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the  
disease.

At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground  
and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to  
have a representative on the track at all times during the event.

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 this global phenomenon  
and raise much-needed funds and awareness to save lives from cancer. Thanks to  
Relay participants, the American Cancer Society continues to save lives.
