Walters Roller Blades to Washington

Gary Walters of Brainerd has picked the hottest time of the year to start his roller blading trip to Washington D.C. The journey should take 21 days, getting him on the capitol steps on September 9th.

The former Crow Wing County Commissioner says he is doing it to raise awareness and money for Kinship Partners.

Walters says if an average, over-weight, middle aged guy can do this for kinship, then maybe more people can be mentors for Kinship Partners.

Walters hopes to cover 50 to 70 miles a day.
