Fergus Farrell’s Walk Across the US

August 13, 2026

In 2018, Fergus Farrell was told he had just a 5% chance of ever walking again after suffering a spinal cord injury. Today, he is preparing to walk 3,000 miles across the United States over 75 days to raise awareness for people living with spinal cord injuries. The journey, beginning at the Brooklyn Bridge and ending at the Santa Monica Pier, is being supported by the Reeve Foundation and Spinal Injuries Ireland, with the partnership of Crown. Joining us to tell us about this incredible journey is Fergus Farrell, Ambassador for Mental Health Awareness, Motivational and Keynote Speaker.
