Teenager carries brother on his back for 111 miles in aid of cerebral palsy

A 16-year-old from Temperance, Michigan, is teaching people how to stand up and fight for what you believe in by walking over 111 miles in less than a week to raise awareness of cerebral palsy.

Hunter Gandee walked almost 60 miles in 2014 carrying his younger brother Braden, who was born with cerebral palsy, on his back and did another walk -- this time 111 miles -- from April 20-25 this year.

Hunter and Braden set off from Bedford High School in Temperance, Michigan, on April 20 and planned to walk all the way to the State Capital Building in Lansing, Michigan.

Hunter set up a social media page for the walks called The Cerebral Palsy Swagger and the page has been updated throughout the journey, showing the brothers, and those joining in on the walk, being cheered as they reached the final rest stop of each day.
