Memoir of a Hollow Man |
My name is Dave Cashen and I am a hollow man. On May 30, 2011 my life changed forever due to cancer...and this is my story. My most recent happenings appear at the top, but for my journey to read in it's entirety, it is best to begin with my first posting. To find it, scroll down the page, then click the arrow at the bottom to 'page back' until you can't go any further and you see my first post "How I Got Here". Click the link "About Me" to learn more about myself and the reasons why I felt I needed to share my story. |

2nd skate sesh in 6 years was a success…starting to get my pop & control back. Celebrated with a dip in Kootenay Lake followed by a stop at Ainsworth Hot Springs, and now a coldie while I watch Whitecaps FC. @cstrom86 #kootenayskillit #skateboarding #skateordie #RGBAmbassadors #hotsprings #whitecapsfc #gowhitecaps #livinglife #memoirofahollowman

About 3 years ago I was having a real hard time finding a job, so I did something I said I’d never do growing up…I enrolled in University. I wasn’t sure what I’d think of it or what exactly to take or if I could even do it. As I was just getting started my health problems came about & never really got goin. So just a couple weeks ago I had to re-register or I’d lose my paid tuition fees, plus only have three months to complete two courses. Not knowing if my heart was still into, I put forth whatever effort I could, and today after having to postpone my studies for the past 2.5 years due to my health, I had my first midterm. I’m extremely excited to report I received an 83% on my Business Admin. midterm…not to mention the 98% I received on my first assignment. #athabascauniversity #distancelearning #education #universitystudent #selkirkcollege #exam #midterm #livinglife #smrt #doh #memoirofahollowman

My new job working with the City of Nelson and the NDYC is amazing! I love being able to share my passions with others, but especially when it’s to the youth… #kootneyskillit #skateboarding #passion #livinglife #youtharethefuture #NDYC #stillworkatRGBtoo
