I was asked to put something together stating why we started IM4RM and what it really means to my teammates and me. Note the ring leader is a good friend of mine, Caleb Pike and in all honesty this was his spark and I joined him after he asked. I am super pumped for this season.  

I have witnessed Caleb transform himself from morbidly obese to a lean freaking machine which now he weighs 168 pounds.  Please go to our site and read his bio for you will also be amazed!!!   I am truly honored to representing IM4RM and flying the Endurance Nations colors on our race kits.  



IM4RM was created in honor of RM Traviss, the founding member’s grandfather. RM was always the image of strength…whether it was as a father figure, a man of great faith and kindness, an established and savvy business owner, or a man who has overcome every physical ailment thrown his way…he was iron clad, invincible. After being diagnosed with cancer and needing a major surgery before he could start chemo he lost his short battle with the disease. While recovering from surgery in the hospital he listened as his grandson recounted the Chicago Marathon that he had just ran. It was his first major endurance event, and as someone who had lost over 100lbs it was a huge accomplishment. RM told his grandson that he had only one regret, that he hadn’t taken better care of his body. In the following months Caleb, his grandson, had decided to set a very high goal. The goal was to compete in Ironman Wisconsin 2012. To dedicate a healthy body to someone that had regrets of not doing the same. With his passing, he would now be helping his grandson earn his Ironman status. But there was still the awful disease that had taken RM away. Caleb wanted to help fight back against something that could take something so precious away. After some research and heavy thinking it was decided that training would turn into fundraising and training. The decided beneficiary would be Children’s Cancer Connection. This organization helps improve the quality of life of children and families that are battling the disease. There was an instant connection with Children’s Cancer Connection. Feeling the strong connection IM4RM knows that raising money, training and spreading our message will not come as a burden or as work. It will all be done with pleasure and honor. To know that we are putting smiles on a person’s face that is fighting for their life makes it pretty simple. IM4RM is a team of Triathletes that dedicate themselves and their training to improving the life of a child or family fighting.
