The year was 1985. The place - Tacoma, Washington. Dr. Gordon Klatt, a surgeon and local American Cancer Society volunteer, ran and walked on a local track for 24 hours, by himself, and raised $27,000 to fight cancer. From that fateful outing was born the Realy For Life - now the Socity's signature event and, in 2001, projected to raise more than $200 million in nearly 3,000 communities nationwide.
