Waldorf Men's Golfer, Bronson Appeared on KIMT News

Waldorf men's golfer Keegan Bronson was featured on the KIMT News and shared his story. Check out the video and story below.

FOREST CITY, Iowa - Nineteen year old Waldorf University golfer, Keegan Bronson's life changed forever when he found out that he had a cancerous tumor in his leg. 

He had the option to either undergo multiple surgeries throughout his life or amputate his leg. The difficult decision led him to look at the pros and cons of the situation. Doctors informed him that if he decided to keep his leg- he would have a very difficult time keeping up with his love for sports. Taking that into consideration, he decided to amputate his leg. 

Bronson says, ""I jumped up and said that I'm going to amputate it because then I can go back to my life as normal and do everything that I wanted to do." 

He went through two months of chemo before his amputation surgery in February. He wasted no time- he started physical therapy and even went to the golf course and played on his first day wearing his prosthesis. 

He says, "Like it went right away, like the first step I knew what I was doing and I was like is that what it's supposed to feel like and they said yes so then we just, two days later, I was out of physical therapy." 

Bronson's determination and perseverance is admirable to his teammates and coaches.  

Head Golf Coach Mark Clouse says, "Keegan has not wavered on his desire to not only play golf, but excel at the sport as a collegiate athlete. We are truly blessed and proud to have him on the Waldorf University Golf Team."
