A football fan is walking 1,000 miles from Scotland to the Euro 2024 tournament in Germany to raise money and awareness for men’s mental health.
He will set off at 10am on Saturday and will walk for 37 days, with the aim to arrive in time for the first game of the tournament on June 14 between Germany and Scotland.Mr Ferguson initially intended to raise £10,000 but having already beaten that target, he now hopes to hit £50,000 by the time he reaches Germany.
While walking, he will wear a specially crafted, ultra-light sports kilt in a Euros tartan by Scottish kilt-makers Slanj. “When the going gets tough, I’ll remind myself why I’m doing it and think of the 12 men that take their own lives every single day in the UK.
