Where in the world is Gary?

Posted: Thursday, August 27, 2009

In his latest adventure to raise funds for Kinship Partners, Gary Walters and his son, Jackson, are Rollerblading to Washington, D.C.

Check out his progress through Tuesday: The Walters continued their trek across Indiana, with difficult roads working against them but no traffic and a wind at their backs helping out.

Miles traveled: 41 miles.

Total miles traveled: 620 miles.

Total funds raised: $8,166 in donations.

Daily destination reached: West of Fort Wayne, Ind.

Mile musings: "Even with the hot days, and the hard work I know my life is blessed far more than I will ever deserve. Which is another reason why we do this. I have had a great life, great family as a kid and a great family as a father. With that in mind this is one way I can do more for kids who don't have the things kids should have. ... Which is why I am happy and feel honored to do what I am allowed to do for Kinship Partners."
