Tartan Trek Comes To Denver

On March 31st, Craig Ferguson arrived in Denver after completing the first 1,000 miles of his journey. Craig is walking the length of the United States from LA to Boston to raise money for the Scottish Action for Mental Health. The journey has him arriving in Boston in time for the Scotland world cup match happening there later this summer.

Members of the society met him at Civic Center Park and spent time with fellow Scots at Celtic on Market Street afterwards.

From Craig's website:

One fan, one goal: to raise £1,000,000 for SAMH

The Tartan Trek will see me walk over 3,200 miles across the United States, starting in Los Angeles and finishing in Boston in time for Scotland’s opening match at the World Cup. I will attempt to complete over 120 marathons in just over 100 days - pushing my body and mind to their limits - all to raise as much money as possible for mental health support in Scotland.

For this challenge, I am proud to be supporting Scottish Action for Mental Health (SAMH), Scotland’s leading mental health charity. SAMH are changing the way we approach mental health through awareness, education and life-saving support delivered in communities across the country. For me, it’s vital that every pound raised makes a real and lasting difference - and I believe SAMH are the right organisation to make that happen.

If my journey inspires you, all I ask is that you follow along, share the story, and support the challenge if you can. Every donation brings us closer to the goal - and helps fund vital mental health support for people across Scotland.

Together, I truly believe we can make a difference.
