GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — A man using a wheelchair has completed a 170-mile journey from southern Wisconsin to Lambeau Field.

Fifty-five-year-old Dennis Schulze arrived Saturday at the Green Bay stadium, accompanied by a crowd of about 40 people including families and law enforcement. Instead of using a wheelchair, Schulze put on a prosthetic leg and walked the last mile to honor those who cannot walk.

USA Today Network-Wisconsin (http://gbpg.net/2okzP7I) reports Schulze got to meet Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson and briefly stand on the famous field.

Schulze started his trip from Janesville in February.
