LIVE: Cycling for a Cause

FARGO — He’s got stage four prostate cancer.

But he’s not letting it stop him.

And this weekend, he’ll ride into Itasca State Park on the final leg of a journey that had him biking the entire perimeter of the united states.

Scott Freitag is from Nevis, Minnesota.

Freitag and his wife Katy say he was healthy and athletic when doctors discovered his cancer at just 53 years old.

It’s a hormone-driven cancer, like breast  cancer, so it tends to be more aggressive in younger people.

Now 60, Scott decided last year to take his fight to a whole different level.

Amidst his treatments at the Mayo Clinic, including radiation, chemo, surgery and hormone deprivation therapy, Scott kept moving.

Over the course of the year, he’s ridden ten thousand miles, sometimes in heat, over rocks, and through rain and snow, and back and forth to cancer treatments, all to raise money for and awareness about prostate cancer.

On Saturday, he and Katy will ride into Itasca to present the more than $203,000 they raised to the nationwide nonprofit ZERO Prostate Cancer.

But first, he stopped by the Morning Show to talk about what keeps them going on their journey and what they want both men and women to know about prostate cancer and how to keep yourself and the people you love healthy.
