A Michigan stilt walker plans to trek about 400 miles around the state as part of an effort to raise money for the United Cerebral Palsy of Michigan nonprofit.

The stilts lift him 10 feet off the ground. His walk is scheduled to start Friday in Ann Arbor and go in stages until May 19. The Ann Arbor-to-Lansing trek will last from Friday through Sunday.
Sauter, who has mild cerebral palsy, says his feet turn inward slightly, and that gave him "a little bit of an advantage" in stilt walking.
A list of stops is posted on a website for the event.
