     GREEN BAY, WI -- Two die-hard Packer fans made a unique journey to today's game.  Rick Martinek and his wife Robin, who is a Packers shareholder, rode their bikes all the way from Minneapolis to Green Bay.  They left on Monday morning and arrived today.  That 's a 277-mile journey by bicycle.  And this ride is for a great cause.  It's raising money for Moms and Neighbors.  An organization to help needy families.  The couple pledged a dollar for every mile and others chipped in too!  The Martinek's planned their trip and broke it down into 50-miles per day along bike trails in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
