The Morning News with Vineeta Sawkar

Watching Legally Blonde at the Ordway with Steve and Vineeta after an amazing brunch with them at the Saint Paul Grill and we meet Walter Nordgren now a toddler with his mom Elizabeth just one of many children and patients of all ages saved with the help of NMDP!

This hour we have up for grabs a chance to hang with Vineeta and cheer on the Vikings as Steve Simpson cheers on his Eagles on October 19th - a chance to hang out with both of them in the Delta Club as we take your bidding for this amazing experience at U.S. Bank Stadium as we continue on with our NMDP Cure Blood Cancer Radio Auction!

We chatted with someone who did the very thing NMDP sets out to do for everyone who is in need of a donor. Eliza Smith shares how donating her bone marrow saved someone who she matched with and the inspiration that comes with being a life saver for somebody and we also give away an amazing Minnesota Wild experience package that includes hanging out in the exclusive Alumni Lounge!

Our good friend John Schuster is opening up his lake home to the highest bidder of the NMDP Cure Blood Cancer Radio Auction and we chatted with John and the winner of last year's getaway Bruce about the experience people are in for!
