In this inspiring episode of ThriveIN Wabash County, host Adam Stakeman sits down with guests Todd Schindler, Matt Bohner, and Lindsay Swihart to explore the power of inclusive racing.

Together, they dive into the mission of MyTeam Triumph, an organization dedicated to creating unforgettable race experiences where athletes of all abilities thrive as one team. You’ll hear firsthand stories about:

How Angels (able-bodied athletes) guide and support Captains
(athletes with disabilities) during endurance races.
The life-changing impact of crossing the finish line together.
The sense of belonging and empowerment MyTeam Triumph brings
to participants, families, and the community.
How partnerships like ARC of Wabash County help make inclusive racing possible right here in our region.

Whether you’re an athlete, a parent, or simply someone who believes in building stronger, more connected communities, this conversation will leave you inspired by what’s possible when people of diverse abilities race side by side.
