Cubs fan travels from Wisconsin to Wrigley Field in his wheelchair for charity

PALATINE, Ill. (WLS) — A devastating accident almost took Dennis Schulze’s leg and almost took his life. The survivor, inspiration and lifelong Cubs fan is now traveling from Beloit, Wis., to Wrigley Field under his own power to raise money for five charities.

Schulze thought it was only appropriate for Wrigley Field to be the final stop on the 100 mile journey. Logging about 10 miles a day, ABC 7 Eyewitness News caught up with Schulze on Rte. 14 in northwest suburban Palatine.

Schulze, 55, navigates his way through the dirty snow and over-complicated corners using his left foot and two arms.
