What is 40/30? Well Murray County Friends, it is 40 years ago that Relay For Life began impacting the world. The Global Relay for Life movement started because of one person. In May 1985, Dr. Gordon “Gordy” Klatt walked and ran for 24 hours around a track in Tacoma, Washington, USA, raising money to help the American Cancer Society with the nation’s biggest health concern: cancer. The ACS has raised $7,000,000,000 (billion) since Relay for Life’s inception in 1985. The American Cancer Society is a leading cancer- fighting organization with a vision to end cancer as we know it for everyone. They are improving the lives of people with cancer and their families as the only organization combating cancer through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
