IM ABLE Foundation's Got the Nerve? Triathlon

MISSION STATEMENT
We remove obstacles that keep people with challenges on the sidelines, providing them access to programs and equipment tailored to their needs and a community of all abilities to support them. 

WHAT WE DO
We get out in the community and show people of all abilities the potential to lead an active lifestyle. Disabled and able-bodied, we all have challenges but it is the goal of the IM ABLE Foundation to demonstrate that your ability doesn’t have to be a limiting factor. Founder Chris Kaag does speaking engagements to show that regardless of his wheelchair he maintains an active and fulfilling life. Handcycling, working out, and kayaking are all examples of how he is doing what he promotes…getting up and moving. 

• Adaptive Equipment Grants - Being adaptive is expensive! Handcycles, mono skis, and basketball wheelchairs range from $3,000 - $10,000+. Since 2007, IM ABLE has granted more than 100 pieces of adaptive fitness equipment to individuals with disabilities. 

• Fitness Programs & Services - IM ABLE provides a variety of exercise and recreational programs and services to individuals with physical, cognitive, and behavioral challenges. 

• Inclusive Events - IM ABLE hosts inclusive races and community events throughout the year.
