To date, nearly four million dollars has been raised to support cancer research and educational programs in Minnesota. The Sports Director at KARE 11 news in Minneapolis, Randy has always focused on cancer research and Minnesota’s Cancer Community. However, the fight became personal after the 1998 tournament when he was diagnosed with Stage IV Hodgkin’s Disease. His treatment and current remission prove that this community and its generosity have made an impact with Randy and others like him. Grants given by the foundation are spent on technology and tools that enhance early detection and treatment of cancer, promising new programs that promote research that would help prevent cancer relapses, projects that demonstrate research in the area of cancer, and programs that enhance the lives of Minnesota’s Cancer Community by providing aid and assistance. ==External links== Official Website * http://www.randyshavergolf.com 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Randy Shaver Cancer Research and Community Fund」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
