Danielle Gandee, Braden and Hunter's mother, said there's many things her family didn't know about cerebral palsy – especially issues with limited mobility – that she hopes others will learn from her sons' effort.

"It went great - we walked into a big crowd of people," Hunter said. "It was great to have everyone there... (Braden) was excited - not only that we were done finally, but everyone was there cheering him on."
