He set off back in February to be there in time for Scotland’s World Cup opener against Haiti in Boston overnight tonight: Craig Ferguson ran in a jersey from Los Angeles all the way to Boston, covering more than 3,000 miles — around 4,828 kilometers — before being welcomed at his destination to huge applause. British broadcaster ‘BBC’ reported on it.

The reason: he wanted to raise one million pounds for the organization “Scottish Action for Mental Health,” the largest and leading mental health charity in Scotland.

Thanks to a surprise donation of 400,000 pounds from the Scottish government on the final day of his four-month journey, he unexpectedly reached his goal and, according to the ‘BBC’ report, described it as “a dream come true.”

As he did at Euro 2024, Ferguson wanted to use his campaign to raise awareness for mental health — and with this mega march and the enormous amount of donations, he has certainly succeeded.

We hope the 22-year-old can finally get some rest now, and plenty of people would surely love to see him celebrate a Scotland win tomorrow!
