Quinn Callander and Brayden Grozdanich are two Canadian boys who have been best friends since Kindgergarten.
Brayden suffers from Cerebral Palsy which has severely affected his right arm and leg. He goes through painul physiotherapy, but has difficulty walking due to the tightening of his muscles.
When best friend Quinn heard that an expensive surgery in New Jersey could help Brayden walk without braces, he decided to pitch in and raise money the only way he knew how, by building a lemonade stand.
The two boys began selling lemonade outside a local shopping centre on 6 July.

Word rapidly spread throughout the community and people came down in throves to support the cause.
Despite the enourmous support for the two boys, Quinn's mother decided to give the boys the extra hand they needed and start an online campaign where people could donate to the cause.
The 'You Caring' campaign called My Buddy Brayden has since raised over $55,000 which is around €40,000.

The heartwarming plea on the campaign page reads:
Hi my name is Quinn, and this is my buddy Brayden.We are both 7 years old. We go to the same school and we are in Beaver Scouts together. Brayden has Cerebral Palsy, this makes it challenging for him to walk well because his muscles are very tight. Sometimes he can't keep up with the rest of the other Beavers and he falls down a lot. Brayden get's daily physio therapy to keep him walking. Sometimes it really hurts him. When I was at his physio, I tried to keep Brayden calm when he was in pain. My Mom told me Brayden is going to have a special surgery to help release the muscle tightness and spastic action. The surgery is not done here in Canada, only in the USA. Brayden and his Mom will be travelling there in August for the operation. Since the surgery is not done in Canada, Braydens Mom and Dad have to pay for it. The surgery will cost $20,000. Please help me raise money to help my friend Brayden, he is a really good guy.
Thank you
Love Quinn
