In April 2010 Klatt received the terrible news that he had been diagnosed with stomach cancer at the age of sixty seven. Klatt released a statement saying “Throughout the years I have spoken and written about how cancer can personally affect everyone. It affects the rich, the poor, and all nationalities and cultures around the world. About 4 weeks ago I was diagnosed with stomach cancer and I have begun my battle with this disease using chemotherapy.” Klatt’s utopian impulse grew even more driving him everyday to wake up and fight the grueling fight against cancer. Klatt released another statement saying “I am even more energized to defeat this disease worldwide. I will again be with all of you in spirit this Relay season – even more so this year. Celebrate the survivors; remember those who lost the battle and fight back! We all need to celebrate more birthdays and by relaying we keep the hope alive through education, community involvement and fundraising for ongoing research.” The vice president for Relay for life encouraged participants to rally around the founder and support Relay for Life even more so by saying “The best way we can pay tribute and honor Gordy is to redouble our efforts in the 2012 Relay season … adding one more team, one more team member or one more additional donation…. and creating an extra meaningful Relay experience for those touched by that Relay spirit…
