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.

1st mountain bike mission was a success…3 miles uphill, some of which was fairly rocky & technical. Challenging to say the least for a first ride in a while, and exhausting. 25min up - 5min down…so fun! #newchapter #kootenayskillit #feelinggood #getoutandplay #hollowman
2nd half of my amazing day…beach & a healthy dinner. Thinking a movie & some wine to finish it off sounds just about right. #newchapter #kootenayskillit #feelinggood #lifesgood #greencoconutcurrywithscallops #hollowman
Gym, physio, beach, a quick Pulpit hike and beach again…feels amazing beig able to enjoy all life offers once again. I think life’s gonna be good here… #newchapter #kootenayskillit #feelinggood #hollowman
Loving today… Good workout at the gym with @evamayrhofer …then first hike up Pulpit with @mcshredalot … #whitecapsfc match at 530pm followed by a house warmer. #newchapter #kootenayskillit #feelinggood #gocapsgo #hollowman
Today was a huge milestone in my recovery…all of them. First day I worked all day & participated in an activity after…and it was soccer! Took it easy, but energy was good and knee held up well… #newchapter #kootenayskillit #firstfootyinthreeyears #mountainbikingnext #bringonsummer #itson
Beautiful day for my 1st time ever at #Whitewater… #gentembowl #kootenayskillit #alclark #PeterWhite #sweettimes #lettheapresbegin
Hard leg workout at gym followed by a grueling uphill bike ride home…getting my legs & knee ready for my long awaited return to all that I love. #goodexhausted #newchapter #kootenayskillit #summerfun #skateboarding #mountainbiking #snowboarding
