This event holds a special place in our hearts as it mirrors our commitment to making a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer. Relay For Life is not just an event; it’s a global movement of passionate supporters working towards the common goal of ending cancer, as we know it, for everyone.
History of Relay For Life:
The roots of Relay For Life trace back to May 1985 when Dr. Gordon “Gordy” Klatt embarked on a 24-hour walk and run around a track in Tacoma, Washington. His mission was to raise money for the American Cancer Society, addressing the nation’s most significant health concern: cancer. Supported by friends, family, and patients, Dr. Klatt covered an incredible 83.6 miles, raising $27,000 in pledges to help save lives from cancer.
How You Can Get Involved:
– Create a Team: We invite you to create a team and join Kendall Auto of Marysville teams, Chevrolet, Ford, and Subaru on the track. Let’s walk together, share stories, and make a real impact.
