 Well to celebrate our 20th anniversary of Lakeland News we're taking a look back at some of the memorable local stories we've covered over the years. We're calling it 20 for 20, 20 stories and all, one for each of the 20 years we've been on the air with Lakeland News. We've certainly introduced you to many interesting people throughout the last 20 years but there has been no one quite like Brainard's Gary Walters. Beginning in 2003 Walters has chosen one wacky adventure each year to raise money and awareness for children in his own community. Over the past 15 years he has raised more than $250,000 for kids. Tonight we look back at the year 2011 and one of Walters most ambitious challenges, a coast to coast 3,000 mile plus bike ride that would take 54 days. Our reporter Becky Parker brought us that story. Kinship mentor Gary Walters is well known for his wacky adventures. I'm not sure how we're ever going to end. I haven't positioned ourselves to be done because every year when we get done we get asked what's for next year. From running a marathon to spending nine days atop Brainard's historic water tower each year he comes up with a new task to tackle in honor of kinship partners. He is actually our second largest fundraiser of the year but he is a he's our major spokesperson out there. People know kinship because Gary's out there doing the adventures and he keeps the community involved in what's going on. Since 2011 Walters has continued to complete wacky adventures each year. Last year he rode a wacky wheel from Brainard to Bemidzian back. In 2015 he completed an Ironman triathlon in Tempe, Arizona. This year he's teaming up with Confidence Learning Center executive director Jeff Olson and a nine month adventure to get healthy together. Walters is trying to lose 100 pounds by the end of the year and Olson is trying to lose 50 pounds. You can learn more about their efforts and see all the adventures Walters has completed at the website thatguyadventures.org. The reporter from that story Becky Parker is currently a news reporter for WDYTV in Fargo, North Dakota and you can watch that entire story on our website lptv.org tomorrow. Next once tonight we take a look back at a story from the year 2012.
