Kid proves you're never too young to put feet to the test.

A 10-year-old boy from Campbell River who was the youngest male to complete Saturday's Great Walk is putting his feet up this week.
"I didn't get tired the whole way," said Sean Cleaver. "But my feet just burned."
Cleaver set out with more than 900 other people-- including his mom Sandi - at 4 a.m. in Gold River Saturday. It took him 16 hours and 59 minutes to walk the 63.5 kilometers.
"At least it was less than 17 hours", Cleaver said.
Cleaver, a Grade 5 student at Cedar Elementary, raised $67 for the SPCA. He decided to accompany his mother, who was also walking for the SPCA, because his older brother wasn't doing it this year. Sandi Cleaver has done the walk four times, and her older son has accompanied her twice. This was the first time Sean took part.
"I wanted to prove I could do it." Sean Cleaver said.
For Cleaver, the best part of the trek was stop number eight - where they had foot massages.
"I liked that," he said.
He said he saw a few other kids in the event, but was mostly surrounded by adults for the walk.
The 23rd annual Great Walk saw 921 people show up and 744 people finish the Gold River to Tahsis walk.
The walkers raised a grand total of $133,330 at least (all the pledge money isn't in yet) for more than 100 different charities. The Canadian Cancer Society was the biggest winner of the day, with pledges totaling $13,665.
The first person in was Steven Royer of Courtenay, at four hours and 55 minutes. He was followed by Rob Grant of Victoria at five hours and 38 minutes. Campbell River's Jade McNeal, 14, was the first female youth to finish, at 10 hours and 29 minutes.
The first Campbell Riverite over the finish line was Jenni Rozich, 28, who came in 17th.
