But, as part of Canon's "Rebel with a Cause" advertising campaign, the local daredevil introduced two members of Senior Friendship Centers to the limelight.

In a short film released yesterday, Wallenda interviewed 84-year-old Kathryn Barnes and 88-year-old Channing Chapman, before taking them on their respective bucket-list adventures.
