IRONWOOD, Mich. (AP) -- A 24-year-old Blissfield man has completed an 830-mile trek on aluminum stilts across Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas to make people aware of cerebral palsy.
United Cerebral Palsy of Michigan reports that Neil Sauter has ended his eight-week journey Friday in Ironwood, Mich., on the Upper Peninsula border with Wisconsin. He began walking in early May from Lambertville in southeast Michigan.
Sauter has raised $16,000 for United Cerebral Palsy of Michigan. A 3-1 matching federal grant pushes that total to $64,000.
Sauter has mild cerebral palsy and used three pairs of stilts on the walk.
