Last week, 16-year-old Hunter Gandee and his brother, Braden, walked 111 miles — from his hometown of Temperance, Michigan, to the steps of the state capitol.
Hunter carried Braden almost all the way.

The feat was part of the Cerebral Palsy Swagger (https://www.facebook.com/cerebralpalsyswagger/timeline), an annual walk designed to raise awareness for the disorder. It's been happening since 2014, when Hunter carried Braden for 40 miles (http://mashable.com/2014/06/09/cerebral-palsy-walk-brothers/). This trip took the pair five days. They left on April 20 and arrived April 25.*
