WILMETTE, Ill. (WLS) -- A Wilmette man with Parkinson's disease is back home Thursday night after a remarkable journey.



"You don't have to walk across America, but it's a movement disorder, we say get moving," Bill Bucklew said.



And boy did he move! Bucklew walked across the country to raise funds and awareness against Parkinson's.



He began his trip on Nov. 24.
