A Cure in Sight is joined by fellow OM patient, Jackie Stiles, WNBA basketball player who was diagnosed in December 2017 with ocular melanoma. Jackie Stiles is one of the most renowned basketball players in the history of the women's game. From her roots in Claflin, Kansas, she led the country in scoring. Then to Southwest Missouri State University, she rewrote the NCAA women's basketball record books en route to leading the Lady Bears to the 2001 Final Four. Finally to a professional career in the WNBA, Jackie has inspired and impacted millions.   Here's a sneak peek into her story:   “I noticed sometime in October that I was not seeing very well, especially at night. I had Lasik eye surgery done in 2003. I had always heard that after 10 years you sometimes need a touch up. While I was home for Thanksgiving, I asked my mom, who is a school nurse, to check my vision. My left eye was 20/40 and my right eye was 20/30. She told me I should probably go to the eye doctor. Then I noticed in practices that I had to really focus in order to catch a ball coming from across the court. My depth perception seemed off. This started to bother me.   I had not signed up for vision coverage on my insurance this year, so I thought maybe I would wait until the following year to go see the doctor.   I decided to flip a coin.   I know this sounds crazy but I have a system of flipping best two out of three when I cannot decide on something. It told me to go to the eye doctor.”   Tune in for the rest! Head to www.jackiestiles.com to connect with Jackie directly. Stay tuned for her life documentary to release, August 30 on Amazon Prime; The Jackie Stiles Story. A few highlights from Jackie's interview: 3 things you can focus on as a new patient in this diagnosis: 1. Focus on what you can control amid all the uncertainty Focus on loving others, and accepting love from others; and when possible, try to do something for someone else–the act of showing up with purpose to this diagnosis makes all the difference in how it feels to be on this journey. Get back to your everyday life the best you can, despite the changes–don't let this diagnosis take up more space than it deserves! Jackie's daily questions to herself are “did I live? Did I love? Did I make a difference?  ANNOUNCEMENTS: Lookin' For a Cure Arizona 5K Walk for Ocular Melanoma  COMING UP September 24, 8 AM  Register here and be sure to bring friends and family to walk with us!

What can you do in 4 minutes? Maybe fire up your Keurig and get your coffee ready before leaving for work or chow down your lunch before heading into the next meeting? Well, this week's Moonlighter is one of only four Iowans who could burn up a track for 1600m in under 4-minutes. Blake Boldon was a successful high school runner from Clarke Community in Osceola who went worked hard every day to really become the best he could be at Southwest Missouri State University and beyond. Blake is now the director of the Drake Relays and shares his passion for track and field in the studio with Tim. A true underdog story, Blake Boldon walked on to Southwest Missouri State and made a plan with his coach to train and strategically use his redshirt (as well as the fine print of NCAA eligibility rules) to stick around for five years. Over that time, he focused on his training and growth to make sure his 5th year was his best year and he absolutely nailed it. In his final semester, he won 5 conference championships. Blake's senior year successes led him to try running for one more year after college to see what happened. Success at the Sea Ray Relays at the University of Tennessee, the Kansas Relays, and the Drake Relays showed Boldon that he had what it took to really pursue a career as a runner and a coach. The 4-minute mile race came in Ames when Boldon was coaching at Iowa State. His coach and members of the team had established a plan to pace the mile, push the tempo, and help some of the team members aim for low 4-minute times and for Boldon to go sub-4. The race didn't start out well as Boldon's nerves had the best of him. Once he made it to the line, things didn't really improve. He remembers a fellow coach calling out the pace at the 800m mark, he was at 2:03+ and started to realize he wasn't even helping the younger guys. He made a move to try to help push the tempo, and save face a little as a coach, and ended up finding his groove and then blew the pack away. Boldon crossed the tape in 3:59.18, becoming just the 4th Iowan to do so. Blake's coaching career took him from Ames to Birmingham, and to the Penn Relays as the head cross country coach and distance coach at UPenn. After a final stop in Indianapolis, Boldon wanted to come back to Iowa near his family. Blake is the 12th Director of the Drake Relays and the first Iowan to hold the position.
