Mike Rogers — Grind for Life Founder on Surviving Cancer and how Skateboarding Gave him Purpose Rad Season Action Sports Podcast

 Mike Rogers is a life-long skateboarder,  two time cancer survivor and Founder of Grind for Life. Mike was diagnosed with cancer when he was just 12 years old. It was a sarcoma and he had to undertake 18 rounds of Chemotherapy.

Mike beat cancer, working as the Skate Park Director at YMCA Palm Springs Florida when his tumor came back 25 years later in 2003. He underwent a 17 hour surgical procedure to remove the cancer to save his life. He used all his money and a retirement fund on his treatment. They put on a skateboarding benefit called Grind for Life to help Mike get back on his feet. The idea was born to set up Grind for Life as a fund raising event series to help people with travel expenses to get to their cancer treated.

Tune in to find how Grind for Life are helping people with cancer, Mike's inspiring outlook on life, health, wellness and the skateboarding community. 

Enjoy and get rad!
