066 Chantelle Heroux, Founder of "Bridge to Skate" Non-Profit

We talked about her nonprofit, Bridge to Skate. She does great work in South LA using Skateboarding as a tool for support, motivation, and making lives better.. I am happy to call her a friend and think you will enjoy the story of how she found Skateboarding, or maybe better said how it found her. I’d say all the people she’s helped should be thankful she got kicked off the soccer team! I know I am!! 

Also known on Instagram by @blondecrisis911 and @bridgetoskate.  Chantelle popped in for a little chat, a hug for me, and lots of cuddling with Tiago.

She has a great story including building a school that houses 27 students in Honduras. A quote from the Bridge to Skate Website...

With exercise comes education, and vice-versa. The two can’t be separated when it comes to living a healthy and fulfilled life. An extension of the BTS concept of providing community support, our school development efforts have already led to changing lives. Our goal, where needed and endorsed, is to complete the “trifecta” – skateboard park, playground and school – in order to give the local community a strong foundation of growth that can lift it from impoverished circumstances over generations.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with this creative, passionate, and giving human being, also known as Chanty.. We start out with a great conversation about Chad Muska which I think will entertain you..
