Teammates Rally For Former Gopher Diagnosed With Leukemia
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Eight months ago, a former Minnesota Gopher athlete got the shock of his life. Rob Smith learned he has an aggressive cancer.
But his friends on his old baseball team stepped up help.
At the University of Minnesota, Smith was a three-sport stand out from Menominee. He played football for two years and baseball for four years.
Since then, he's been a successful businessman, who now has two children with his wife. But after being diagnosed with leukemia, Smith has learned the importance of good teammates and keeping family close.
Watch the video above to hear Mike Max share his story.
