Striving for change...

Athlete, woman, mother, pro snowboarder, yogi, surfer; Megan Pischke is an inspiration to me and this week on my show I will share her journey with you. As I sit here and think about #Skatethecoast 2014, my eyes fill with tears, tears of joy, sadness and gratitude for Cal Skate Roller Derby and all of those who supported us while we helped raise over $30,000.00 for B4BC (Boarders for Breast Cancer) on September 27th. Please, listen to Megan's story this week, live Wednesday at 5pm pacific on ESPN Radio 1280am, or via the internet at www.espnradio1280.com. If you cannot listen live, check out my Podcast afterwards @ www.thecjsilasshow.com (24/7). Those that donated, cheered for us and followed us throughout the day here, on FB, on Twitter and on Instagram, thank you! My heart hurts for those we have lost, yet I feel encouraged by events like this. I will continue to cheer for those who are still in the fight. Don't give up on any of it! Events like Skate the Lake & Skate the Coast prove to me that we don't have to fight alone, we cannot do this alone, we will NOT do it alone! For those in physical pain, emotional pain, financial strain...this disease hurts each one of us in some way or another, in our hearts and deep in our souls. As I enjoy each moment of my life, I'll take time to feel the love we have surrounding us. Each one of you has touched me and I feel blessed to have such incredible people in my corner. I send long and warm hugs to each of you, near and far! "Chasing Sunshine" a documentary about Megan's life experience with cancer will premiere in January at the X-Games in Aspen. Please, watch the preview and feel inspired to listen to her story on The CJ Silas Show this week. You can see it at http://vimeo.com/106748789
