Former Vikings linebacker visits kids at Sanford Children's Hospital

Former Minnesota Viking and Founder of Lead The Way Foundation Chad Greenway was in Fargo Thursday afternoon to visit kids and their families at Sanford Children's Hospital.

The kids were all smiles, as they got the chance to spend time with the former Viking great.

Greenway was in town promoting his Minnesota made vodka brand Grey Duck which is now available in North Dakota.

With Greenways' long history with Sanford, he jumped at the chance to meet and greet with some of his youngest fans.

"When we were coming into the city into town today I called Nate white and said 'Hey I want to stop in I want to have a chance we're gonna be in town...I want to stop over to children’s hospital and make sure we can see some kids and just want to take advantage of the relationship I've had with Sanford for years and just obviously come out and see some kids and hopefully put a couple smiles on some kids faces." Said Greenway.

Greenway established his foundation in 2008 to provide seriously ill and physically challenged children throughout the midwest with daily support and life-changing experiences.
