Todd Shimabuku and In4mation

My good friend, Todd Shimabuku, co-owner of In4mation sent this package my way. Thank you, Todd!

We worked together for years in Hawaii and I’ve seen Todd go from a skater, to a skater with strong motivation to work and fulfill his passions. In4mation is one of those passions, and it shows. He’s nowhere near completing his goals but to me, he’s done a ton already.

The board and wheels that he sent below are part of the GRIND FOR LIFE x BONES WHEELS x SKATEBOARD MAG x IN4MATION benefit board. A great combination of folks got involved to help and spread the Grind For Life mantra. The Skateboard Mag ran full details on this project, a few months ago.

The mission of the Grind For Life Organization is to provide financial assistance to cancer patients and families when traveling long distances to doctors/hospitals. Also, they educate and inspire these patients and families concerning cancer survival and recovery. Their primary supporters are skateboarders and families. Founder is Mike Rogers, two time sarcoma survivor.
