Two Austinites Announce Record-Setting 24-Hour, 100 Mile Run to  End Austin Homelessness

Two Austinites Announce Record-Setting 24-Hour, 100 Mile Run to End Austin Homelessness

On November 12th, Town Lake Loop Challenge Will Support Finding Home ATX, Austin's Community-Led Initiative; FastestKnownTime (FKT) Route

AUSTIN, Texas - November 10, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Finding Home ATX (https://findinghomeatx.org), a community-led initiative to end unsheltered homelessness, announced today that locals Charles Wagner and Michael Sabrin will run 100 or more miles on November 12 to raise a goal of $100,000 to support the initiative. The Town Lake Loop Challenge run will start at midnight on November 12 and the two runners plan to complete at least 10 loops of the 10-mile Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail in 24 hours. Wagner and Sabrin plan to set a Fastest Known Time (https://fastestknowntime.com/route/town-lake-loop-challenge) record for the most loops ever run consecutively around Town Lake (Lady Bird Lake).

On any given night, Austin has over 3,000 unhoused men, women, and children. Finding Home ATX is a community-led, three-year, $515M initiative to end unsheltered homlessness in Austin. The initiative aims to house 3,000 unsheltered individuals, add 1,300 new units of affordable housing, and to build a more effective Homelessness Operating System. Major donors include the St. David's Foundation, Indeed, City of Austin, Travis County, and several other corporations, foundations, and individuals.

"All of our community wants to get those living on our streets out of their tents and into homes with services," said Austin Mayor Steve Adler. "Our community heroes are actually doing something to help get this done. The inspiring passion of Charles Wagner and Michael Sabrin, together with the generosity of their partners, is changing the lives of our unhoused neighbors — mile by mile. They are an example to us all."

About the Runners

Charles Wagner is a father of two, UT Austin alum and software engineering executive at Indeed. He has made Austin his home for 20 years and though he started running during the pandemic, he's now an avid runner. Michael Sabrin is also a father of two, a chef and product developer for Whole Foods Market. Michael attended the University of Georgia, where he was part of the UGA triathlon team. During their training runs logging thousands of miles on Austin's streets and trails, Charles and Michael witnessed the growing impact of homelessness, and are grateful to use running to raise money and be part of the solution. 

Sponsors needed

$1,000/mile sponsorships are still available, and donations can be made at https://enca.st/TLC toward the $100,000 goal. During the run, our fundraising page will feature sponsor logos for the duration of miles supported, and we will feature sponsors on our social media pages during and leading up to the run.

Ten Athletes Named to First-Ever USA Blind Soccer Men’s National Team

Ten Athletes Named to First-Ever USA Blind Soccer Men’s National Team

The roster includes eight athletes with visual impairments and two sighted goalkeepers.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - November 3, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

The U.S. Association of Blind Athletes (USABA) today announced the 10 athletes chosen for the first-ever USA Blind Soccer Men's National Team that will begin international competition in 2023, the first step on the journey to competing at the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympic Games. The team was selected after a four-day selection camp held Oct. 27-30 in Chula Vista, Calif. The roster features eight athletes with visual impairments along with two sighted goalkeepers.

The sport of blind soccer has been part of the Paralympic Games since 2004, but the U.S. has never fielded a team. That will all change in 2028 when Los Angeles plays host to the Olympic and Paralympic Games and the U.S. will receive an automatic entry into the blind soccer competition as the host country.

"In the next six years, the world's two biggest sporting events will happen on American soil," said USABA CEO Molly Quinn. "In 2026, the FIFA World Cup will be played throughout the U.S. for the first time in three decades. In 2028, the Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games will take place in Los Angeles. It will mark the first time that L.A. has played host to the Paralympic Games."

The eight athletes with visual impairments named to the team are Noah Beckman (Columbus, Ohio), Cody Kirchner (Columbia, S.C.), Ahmed Shareef (Staten Island, N.Y.), Ricardo Castaneda (Fort Worth, Texas), Kevin Brown (Falls Church, Va.), Antoine Craig (Richmond, Va.), David Brown (Chula Vista, Calif.) and Alvaro Mora Arellano (Phoenix, Ariz.). The two sighted goalkeepers selected are Brandt Herron (Palm Coast, Fla.) and Kyle Knott (Brevard, N.C.).

"We are so excited to name the first ever USA Blind Soccer Men's National Team," said Head Coach Katie Smith. "It was incredible to see the growth of the athletes at this first national selection camp. It is truly incredible being a part of this revolutionary team and to have another Paralympic sport for blind athletes all over the country to aspire toward. I look forward to seeing how this National Team progresses toward our goal of the 2028 Paralympics."

Alternates for the USA Blind Soccer Men's National Team are John Marquez (Fort Worth, Texas) and Charles Catherine (Brooklyn, N.Y.). The team will begin competing in international friendlies in 2023.
