FARGO (KVRR) – It’s time to bring your backswing and tee up for a great cause.

He’s back in the metro to get things started Wednesday and to talk about this year’s new additions All-Star Week, as well as this year’s 41st annual Roger Maris Celebrity Golf Tournament.

He says Sanford’s getting national recognition for its cancer treatment techniques, including the region’s first blood and bone marrow transplant program.

He joined the Morning Show to talk about what it’s like dealing with a cancer diagnosis in the family, and what it means to have these treatments close by for families in the region.
