98-Year-Old New York Man Walks 6 Miles Every Day to Visit His Paralyzed Wife in the Hospital

A 98-year-old man has shown that both distance and hardship won’t get in the way of love.

Luther Younger, of Rochester, New York, has been walking about six miles every day for the past two weeks to visit his paralyzed wife in the hospital.

“I ain’t nothing without my wife,”Luther told Spectrum News.“It’s been a rough pull. It’s been tough.”

According to the news outlet, Luther, a Korean War veteran, has been married to his wife, Waverlee, for 50 years. She was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2009 and is currently at Strong Memorial Hospital.

Luther’s daughter, Lutheta Younger, toldYahoo Lifestylethat she moved her parents out of their home and had them move in with her. She and her sister, Joyce, have been taking care of them ever since.

Lutheta added that her dad “doesn’t have to” walk to the hospital, “but he wants to.”

She added: “I can drive him. He just doesn’t want to wait; he’s impatient.”

A GoFundMe page was createdfor the couple, which has since raised $29,000. The money will help with medical expenses and rides to and from the hospital.
