ESPN anchor Stuart Scott keeps on fighting

Posted Aug 27, 2011
On Monday, Stuart Scott shot a 38 during a nine-hole round of golf. The next day, he carded a 41, which combined would top his personal best by three strokes. But that Monday morning before taking to the links, the ESPN anchor went through the 11th of his 12 chemotherapy treatments. Scott learned at the start of 2011 that cancer had returned to his body for a second time. (Raleigh News & Observer)
