                       TWO BROTHERS, ONE JOURNEY

  (Mr. WALBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an extraordinary 
15-year-old named Hunter Gandee from Monroe County, Michigan.
  Hunter's 8-year-old brother, Braden, has cerebral palsy and cannot 
walk on his own. Last week, Hunter carried Braden on his back for 57 
miles to raise awareness for the disease. The 3-day journey took the 
Gandee family from Lambertville to the University of Michigan's 
Pediatric Rehabilitation Center in Ann Arbor, where Braden has upcoming 
surgery.
  Along the way, there were hugs, cheers, and outpouring of support 
from communities across Michigan and the country. Two brothers, one 
journey, an inspiring story of love, courage, and sacrifice--may we all 
learn from their example and do our part to make the world a better 
place.
  God bless Hunter. God bless Braden.
