Jaxon completed the final peak on June 22 and altogether managed to walk 37 kilometers (23 mi) and climb 3,064 meters (10,052 ft) worth of mountainous trails. "He loves his mountains, he loves rocks, he likes climbing on rocks,” the father told The Telegraph. /VCG Photo

Aside from setting new records, Jaxon raised more than 1,300 U.S. dollars for Cerebra, a charity that helps brain-injured children including Jaxon’s friend Ralph and his family. "It’s an incredible way to pay tribute to him. For someone so young to do something so amazing is fantastic," said Ralph's mother, who burst into tears when she found out what Jaxon was doing for her son. /VCG Photo
