Do you remember your parents saying to you, "I used to walk 5 miles to school in the snow"?

How about telling a child that you used to walk 21 miles a day to get to work — and you literally meant it.

Well, that's exactly what this man does. If you're anything like me, you will be astonished and tear up when you read this story.

The Detroit Free Press' story of a Detroit man, who has been walking 21 miles a day — no matter the weather conditions — to get to and from work for more than a decade, inspired a Michigan college student to launch an online campaign to buy him a car.

Thanks to the generosity of strangers, the campaign has raised more than $60,000 in a single day!
