The Gandee Brothers' Final Walk

Hunter Gandee, 16, carried his brother Braden (who has cerebral palsy) on his back almost 111 miles over a five-day period ending on April 25 of this year. Braden, who turned ten years old six days ago, walked the last half-mile to the Michigan Capitol with the use of a walker. Hunter said this walk was intended to encourage others to embrace anyone with a disability, not just cerebral palsy. The Gandee brothers walked 40 miles in 2014 and 57 miles in 2015. They don't plan on doing this long a walk again because Braden is getting bigger and Hunter is getting ready for college.
