IRONWOOD (AP) -- You may of seen him walking on three-foot stilts.  He certainly wasn't hard to miss.

Neil Sauter has spent the past eight weeks trekking through the state to raise money for United Cerebral Palsy of Michigan.

On Saturday, he completed his 830-mile journey, finishing in Ironwood.

Through sponsorships and donations, Sauter raised $16,000.  A 3-to-1 federal grant pushes that total to $64,000.
