Caption: 24 hours. $40. 40 years of impact.
🎗️ In 1985, Dr. Gordy Klatt — a cancer doctor from Tacoma — walked for 24 hours straight to raise money for his patients. That one act sparked a movement: Relay For Life.

On May 1, we honor his legacy with Gordy’s Give Back Day — a one-day fundraising challenge celebrating 40 years of Relay.
A $40 contribution helps fuel the next 40 years of hope, research, and support for every cancer, every life.

💜 Will you take the challenge?

In 1985, Dr. Gordy Klatt walked for 24 hours and raised $27,000 for his cancer patients.
That walk became Relay For Life — now a global movement in over 30 countries.

On May 1, we’re honoring his legacy. Every $40 raised continues his mission and fuels the next 40 years of lifesaving work.

💜 Let’s show the world what one person — and one day — can do.

And he would know. In 1985, Gordy walked for 24 hours to support his cancer patients — creating what we now know as Relay For Life.

On May 1, we honor his legacy with Gordy’s Give Back Day, a global one-day challenge to raise funds and awareness.

Raise or donate $40 to celebrate 40 years of impact — and help power the next 40.
