What a little hero.

Best friends can shape our lives, and for these two little boys, it really is a case that friendship can be a life saver.

Quinn Callander and Brayden Grozdanick, both seven years old, are inseparable best friends, who do everything together.

From school to scouts, the boys are always there for each other, and when Brayden needed surgery to help him walk unaided with his cerebral palsy, Quinn decided to help his friend fundraise for the treatment.

So the boys built a lemonade stand together and placed it outside their local supermarket in Maple Ridge, Canada. The boys sold their home-made lemonade to shoppers every Sunday.

With the help of his mum, Quinn went one step further, posting a video asking for the local community to help Brayden get better.

The online fundraising page raised nearly $36,000, which will all go towards surgery and travel expenses for Brayden to travel to a specialist clinic in New Jersey.

Now that’s what you call a friend.
