Austin and his dog, Archer, are setting out to walk across the continent starting October 9th, 2013. All money raiseed will be donated to wounded servicemen/women.
Mayor Dungan had the pleasure of meeting this gentleman today as he invited him into City Hall to commend him on his efforts then took him to lunch at a local eatery here in Bayou La Batre.
You can keep up with his story as he walks across our country on this fantastic and very meaningful endeavor HERE
