YouTube stars Shane Burcaw and Hannah Aylward, better known as Squirmy & Grubs, enlightened and delighted an audience of around 200 people at an Aug. 10 event hosted by BraunAbility at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Married in 2020, the Minnesota residents have amassed more than 1.5 million followers on their YouTube channel, where they share their experiences as an interabled couple while advocating for accessibility and inclusion of people with disabilities.

Burcaw, author of three books, uses a wheelchair as a result of spinal muscular atrophy, a rare neurodegenerative disorder that causes loss of motor neurons and progressive muscle wasting. Shane and Hannah work with BraunAbility to spread their joint mission to advance disability inclusion and accessibility for people with mobility challenges and their caregivers.
