Overview
- Craig Ferguson set off from Santa Monica Pier on Feb 24, 2026, and has been covering roughly a marathon a day while walking across the United States in a kilt.
- As of late May he has arrived in Washington, D.C., after about 2,800 miles with roughly 450 miles left to reach Boston and Foxboro.
- Ferguson is raising money for Scottish Action for Mental Health and has commonly reported totals above £170,000 so far with a stated £1 million target.
- Coverage shows a discrepancy in totals because one U.S. outlet reported donations over $250,000, which likely reflects currency conversion or timing differences in reporting.
- His trek, supported by a close friend and a support vehicle, has generated repeated personal encounters that have amplified mental health conversations and drawn praise from SAMH and public figures.
