In the spring of 1985, Dr. Gordon Klatt, a colorectal surgeon from Tacoma, Wash., sought to raise money for the American Cancer Society in honor of his patients.
For 24 hours, a dedicated Klatt walked around the track at Baker Stadium at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma.
Throughout the night, his friends paid $25 each to walk or run 30 minutes with him.
He walked about 83 miles and raised $27,000 to fight cancer.
