- The only part of this video that actually matters is when I blow out my candle, proving once and for all that I am indeed the most inspiring human being to ever grace this planet. Jokes aside, visit the Guthrie Theater if you get a chance! They’re super accessible and they put on a variety of fantastic shows.
Hannah and I absolutely love making videos for you. If you would like to support our work so that we can continue sharing our life and relationship with you for years to come, you can do so on our Patreon: / squirmyandgrubs

Shane was born with a neuromuscular disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy that requires him to use an electric wheelchair. He is the author of several award-winning books, the President of a nonprofit organization called Laughing At My Nightmare, and a renowned public speaker who has performed across the country at places such as Harvard University, The University of Florida, The University of Connecticut, Princeton University, and many more.
Hannah is a senior at Carleton College, studying sociology and anthropology. She works as a researcher for an educational consulting firm. Her future aspirations include attending law school and owning a goat sanctuary. She films and edits the “Squirmy and Grubs” vlog.
Shane and Hannah have been dating for 3 years and living together in Minneapolis for a year. Their interabled relationship often confuses people, because much of society still cannot fathom people with disabilities being involved in loving, intimate relationships. Anyone who watches these episodes will quickly see their relationship is just as “normal” as any other. Sure, Hannah helps Shane use the bathroom and brush his teeth, but those activities do not detract from the emotional, intellectual, and physical connection they experience together.
Shane’s face when he blew out the candle is everything!! 👍🏻
Ikr it was so sweet!
The look of surprise on Shane's face when that candle went out!!!! That's great!!! 🙌💜🙌 Lilacs are the best smell ever!!
God bless the people who discovered/created Spinraza. Belated happy birthday Shane.
"Establish my dominance" 😂🤣😂 Shane you're hilarious!
Eibmozluver he really is! 😂
Omg yes lol. Thank God he wasn't peeing 🤣🤣
Okay why am I crying watching Shane blow out his candle was absolutely wonderful happy belated birthday
I was so depressed and lonely and nervous today, and you two made me feel positive and relaxed. I keep laughing, and it feels so good to laugh again
Quiet you...
Hugs! I can relate
Thinking of you, hope today is better
I am able-bodied but I suffer from a mental illness, and I save your videos to watch when I'm in a bad phase. Seeing you always puts a smile on my face and hope in my heart. Thank you, Hannah and Shane, you are both amazing.
Why was I not surprised that Shane suggested that Hannah lick the icing off his face. 🤣🤣🤣 Fantastic candle blowing Shane. Your face was a picture. 😲😲😲
Lilacs are the best. So many beautiful and interesting places to see. Thanks for letting everyone tag along. Two thumbs up for Shane's candle blowing!! You made it look effortless. Wow!
I think about you guys all the time when I’m walking around Minneapolis (wow that sounds creepy)- there are way too many obstacles out here for pedestrians, especially for people with wheelchairs!
Love the videos though, and glad to hear that Spiranza is really making a difference!!
Shane: “A lot of people don’t know this but, ...”
Hannah: Immediately follows with “nope”
Us: 😂😂😂
I always say nope when he starts his story telling
Shane! Your face when you blew out the candle!!!!
It gave me happy tears.
❤ y'all!
I would watch the crap out of a show that's just Shane 'identifying' all kinds of wildlife & giving historical facts and at the end of each explanation would be Hannah with a NOPE.
The next David Attenborough!
Or Shane demonstrating and establishing his dominance over all wildlife and botanic ... EPIC :D
This. But your picture is giving me nightmares tonight. 😫
omg lol❤❤❤❤
with his different "accents!" 😆LOVE THEM!
The look on your face when you blew out the candle is the best :) I love following you guys on your journey!
Iam so happy for you . We take so much for granted and seeing the look on your face when you blew out the candle made me smile so big. Since watching your videos it has opened my eyes as to how many places are hard to get into for people in wheel chairs. Love you both.
Y’all just make me smile...sometimes you make me cry but mostly you make me smile 🙂
To an inspiring couple, thank you. I look forward to each and every video. Please keep it up, I personally look forward to them. The commitment you to have to each other is the most endearing I have ever seen
You are a couple worth watching. You inspired your viewers so much with your simple things together. I congratulates you and to your parents who raised you to be such an inspiration to others. The love you have to each other is what we need now in this world . Congratulations and never get tired of posting your videos. You are in my prayers.
You two give me hope.I love the videos.Thank you.
I'm so happy that you two make these videos. It's very important for everyone to see the daily challenges that people with disabilities face. Plus we get to live vicariously through you guys and see some remarkable, beautiful and interesting places and people. Thank you!
I was having a bad day and watching this makes me feel so much better already. Thank you for these vids!
You and Hannah are an adorable couple, lots of love I every video! Glad Shane's lungs are getting stronger! ♥️🎈💙
What a gorgeous city! I love the river, buildings, bridges...wow! Thanks for sharing!!
Yay! I love it! The blowing out the candle. The face afterwards. Everything. Happy birthday Shane!
*BIG MAN MAKING BIG MOVES*
We all are super impressed by you Shane, keep being amazing 👌👍
😄 Is it "We all are" ? Or
"We are all" ?? That's the question?? 😄😄
Nothing like starting off the morning with a cup of coffee and watching the amazing adventures of Shane & Hannah! Thank you for another awesome video guys! 💚
Loved Shane's facial reaction when he blew out his candle....priceless❤
Shane that was truly a wonderful sight! I am so very pleased the Spiranza is helping you as much as it is and I could tell by the look in your eyes it meant so much to you to just be able to blow the candle out from that distance. I hope you continue making more and more improvements and darnit we need to get you that other stuff you and Hannah were talking about a while ago!! Happy Birthday Shane!!
Omg a video!!! Love you guys happy belated birthday Shane!! Your face when you blew out the candles was priceless and so proud of your self. 😊
I love you guys so much for being inspiring, teaching us so much and showing unconditional love to each other.
Minneapolis is such a beautiful city! I love this!!! You can tell Shane’s getting stronger by each video! 💪🏼👍🏼
This is Wheel Life Minneapolis is over run
I miss you Prince! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Minneapolis is your city!
I love how you established dominance with the tree Shane. I don't know why that just cracked me up.
My birthday is on Tuesday (june4th) and I started a fundraiser on fb for LAMN and so far I have over $200 donated! Love supporting you and others alike! Much love! ❤😊
I was having a bad morning so I watched this. I knew the two of you would lift my spirits! Thanks!
Your book is amazing. So well written and ....amazing. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.
Oh lilacs! Why are they only around for about 2 weeks? They are my favorite!!! Happy late birthday, Shane. 😂😂😂 The Minneapolis anaconda. I so need to check out that bubble tea place. I had my first bubble tea at the Hmong Village on Johnson Parkway in St. Paul. Once I got past the tapioca chunks shooting up thru my straw I was hooked. Looks like a great day!
That’s amazing progress!! You’re so strong mentally and so are your lungs! Good job, keep up the good work. So proud of you (:
“Me establishing dominance” 🤣🤣🤣 omg Shane i cant 😂😂😂😂
also Shane's Australian accent is hysterical. Though at first I was "Why is Shane talking like he is drunk?"
Beautiful building! Love that you guys get out and about!! Hopefully it encourages others with disabilities to get out and see this amazing country. And I hope other businesses see how important it is to have accessibility for people with disabilities. Thank you!!
I LOVE getting videos from you two. It’s a joy and sometimes my wife will say, “Why are you grinning?” I would tell her, “They have a new video.” She knows who I mean. Love you. ❤️♿️❤️♿️
You guys are actually the best ever. Sending love!! And happy birthday Shane!!
I’m so glad you got an accessible tour! I work in a theater and we’re always working to emphasize our venue’s accessibility access and make it a seamless, enjoyable experience for all! I would love to give you a tour if you ever find yourself in Cincinnati
Love your videos! I’m from Minnesota, I live in Wisconsin now so it’s fun seeing places I recognize! Happy belated birthday Shane!
hahahaha as an aussie, thanks Shane for doing that aussie impression, it was truly glorious 😆🙌✨
I loved the buildings in Minneapolis, great mix of old and new.... I love it when you show off parts of your world ;-)
There are so many beautiful buildings there. That was fun.💖
Okay, I'm crying a little bit. I'm so happy for Shane in blowing his candle out.
I love your videos and the awareness it provides. I’ve learned so much from you both! (And you both crack me up... love your Australian accent when talking about the “anaconda”)... my daughter (9 years old) watches some of your videos with me and it has inspired her to work on accessibility issues for those who can’t afford upgrades to their homes as one of her Girl Scout projects. Thank you for making yourselves known in such delightful ways.
oh my goodness ♡ love your appreciation for their singing on your face and then i loved your actual surprised face!
Literally, after watching your videos I’m now so cognizant of accessible stalls and ensuring I’m not that person who takes up too much space in neighboring stalls. I live in CA and super grateful for the overall ADA compliance in public places; however, as a whole we all need to do better.
His face when he blew out the candle! Love you guys! So inspiring
Shane's expression, after blowing out the birthday candle from that distance, melted my heart. Wow, what improvements he is making (I hope I am correct in saying) due the medication he is taking.
On a separate note, Shane does have some great facial expressions, when relaying funny stories anyway though, they should be on their T-shirts, along with, "Nope" 😂💙 Much love to you both xx
Shane , you have ... actually... you BOTH have the greatest sense of humor! I love it. Loving your vlogs. If you ever get out to so Cal, we (my wife and I) would love to take you out to dinner. Be safe!
Yay for spinraza! Happy birthday Shane! We love you!
"you could tell by the way it is" 😂😂😂
Shane's reaction when he blew the candle out 😍 Amazing stuff!!
Cha cha cha!! Birthday song remix!!!

I can not help having purma smile every time I watch your video.... the look on your face when blowing out the candles...the flower smelling like Camels, marking your territory for dominance...30' Anaconda snake...and Hannah's NOPE whenever you tell a story or add something to a story and it's wrong....lol you both kill me !!!!
I love Minneapolis. I went to college at North Central University that is just blocks from the Vikings' stadium. Lived there for 5 years.
The first time I’ve heard Hannah say “nope” to an actual question. PS, Shane, your progress is definitely inspiring!
Congratulations to shein on blowing out the candles. Hannah never gets enough credit for her videographer skills
That is so awesome. The face you made when you blew out your candle was priceless. 😂
I'm cracking up here with every line. 😂
Love that life hack, Hannah.

Love your channel!❤ I live in Minneapolis(Nokomis area), so hi neighbors!
Hey Hannah and Shane! Loved this vlog of your day downtown. Looks like a beautiful city. It must still feel weird to get invited to events/tours because of your platform on TH-cam. I can imagine how much you love it though!
I started screaming YAY go Shane! When he blew out that candle!! Hahaha such a momentous moment!! 😊
Lilacs are my favorite! I lived in WA state and they would have the Lilac Festival! So fragrant!
Well done Shane!!!!! Happy Birthday x
I love that we are birthday twins! Geminis have a will to survive and a strength to overcome anything. Love this video so much I never leave this channel without a happy heart. You two should come to Michigan! I would love to adventure the great lakes with yall!!!

I love the face Shane makes when he blows out the candle 😊
Happy Birthday Shane! Love you guys
Happy birthday Shane! The Guthrie is awesome. I hope they gave you some promo tix to Guys and Dolls! The summer musical there is always fantastic.
Its hard to find a woman who really loves you for who you are. You're a lucky man Shane 😊
This is exactly the sort of amazing progress and hope that inspired me to become a Molecular Geneticist. 🙏🏻 Thank you.
LATE HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHANE, AND I WISH YOU MANY MANY MORE TO COME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY
I bought my husband those same slippers Shane was wearing. He loves them and wears them everywhere.
I love watching you 2! If I have a bad day, I will come home and watch reruns of your videos! Thank you both! Love you!
I don’t you guys personally but I love you both! You’re both amazing!
Shane marking his territory lol y'all are great! Happy Birthday 🎂
If you want to come to Missouri I'll take you on a tour of anywhere you want to tour. We can go to the History museum , St Louis museum, the river, whichever one you want- Missouri or Mississippi or we can go to Silverdollar city...wherever you choose I will be your tour guide. That sounds like soooooo much fun!
Hello! I am new to your channel and have enjoyed watching your adventures. Glad to hear the lungs are stronger. Did I miss an update on Hannas lump. I hope you are well.
Hi from Minneapolis too! I think you can get bubble tea in uptown! Love your channel!
You guys always make me smile 😊
I've been actually thinking that from video to video shane seems to be getting stronger. you can see it in his posture and even in his facial mannerisms.
God I wish i had what you two have together. ❤️
shane and hannah keep me sane 😂
RE: Minneapolis Anaconda
Shane's accent is actually really impressive I am proud
Marinda Hender i thought the same thing!! He’s a good actor
