Speaker 1: event that's coming up in September, the thirteenth annual j
Speaker 1: Y six Golf Open. This is happening in Brandon, and
Speaker 1: to visit with us right now about this, Megan Larson. Megan,
Speaker 1: how long have you been involved in this event?
Speaker 2: Hey? John, you know this is our thirteenth year as
Speaker 2: a whole, but I've been involved with the JY six
Speaker 2: Foundation for pretty much six years now, so officially.
Speaker 1: Very nice And for folks that are not familiar with
Speaker 1: JY six Foundation, let's explain what that is because it's
Speaker 1: something that's near and dear to many many people.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So Jorgan was diagnosed with ALL when he was sixteen,
Speaker 2: so that's acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He had his first round
Speaker 2: of treatment. Treatment went great. He was super positive about
Speaker 2: like the outcomes. Everything was good. His skins were good
Speaker 2: for close to a year, and then they kind of
Speaker 2: came that his cancer kind of came back with a vengeance.
Speaker 2: Did a second round of chemo and a round of
Speaker 2: like an experimental round of treatment too out at Mayo,
Speaker 2: and unfortunately the prognosis was kind of, hey, this second
Speaker 2: round isn't gonna work. So truthfully, it is so neat.
Speaker 2: But in his last moments he had asked specifically his
Speaker 2: family to put together his foundation to give back to
Speaker 2: specifically nurses who treated his cancer, and then obviously to
Speaker 2: fund cancer research. So in the springtime we do a
Speaker 2: more formal event, but this one ends up kind of
Speaker 2: being our fun event to kind of take the pressure
Speaker 2: off and just have a really nice thought about it.
Speaker 1: The thing that's really nice the funds that are raised
Speaker 1: at this event and the other things the JY six
Speaker 1: Foundation does throughout the year. It goes to wonderful things,
Speaker 1: not only research, but also to give back to the
Speaker 1: nurses who again they work their tails off and Jorgan
Speaker 1: saw that when he was a patient. He saw that
Speaker 1: and it meant something to him and it mattered to him,
Speaker 1: and I think it's just a wonderful, lasting legacy that
Speaker 1: the JY six Foundation, now all these years later, is
Speaker 1: doing so many wonderful things, and this golf tournament, if
Speaker 1: people would like to sign up to golf. Is there
Speaker 1: still room to be a golfer in this Yeah, absolutely, we.
