Fergus Farrell

Just 6 days to go until kick-off! 🇺🇸🚶‍♂️

As the countdown continues, I wanted to share a video we created with Crown Global, our Platinum Sponsor, and Crown EHS Director Darren Bourke, who will be joining me for the first 5 days of the journey.

Together, we'll cover over 300km as we begin this 4,500km walk across America.

I'm incredibly grateful to Darren and everyone at Crown for their support in helping make this challenge possible. Their backing is helping me pursue an ambitious goal of raising €1 million for Spinal Injuries Ireland and the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, helping provide essential services, support and hope to thousands of people living with spinal cord injuries.

Why am I taking on this challenge?

For my family. For my health. For everyone who has ever been told their goals are out of reach after a spinal cord injury.

In just 9 days, I'll begin walking 4,500km across America, from Brooklyn Bridge to Santa Monica Pier. This journey is about proving that no matter what life throws at you, with determination, resilience and support, incredible things are possible.

I'm also taking on this challenge to support two incredible charities that are transforming lives every day: Spinal Injuries Ireland and the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.

A huge thank you to Crown Global, our Platinum Sponsor, for helping make this challenge a reality.

What drives me? People often ask what motivates me to take on a challenge like Fergus Walks.

For me, it's about being the best role model I can be for my children. I want them to see that setbacks don't have to define your future, and that no matter what life throws at you, you can keep moving forward.

I've always loved a challenge and competition, but over the years I've learned that the biggest challenge is often looking after your mental and physical health. Staying active, pushing your limits, and taking care of your wellbeing can make an incredible difference, especially when life doesn't go according to plan.

Walking 4,500km across America will test me in every way, but it's also a reminder of what resilience, determination, and a positive mindset can achieve.

If there's one message I'd like people to take from this journey, it's this: never give up. Keep showing up, keep moving forward, and keep believing in what's possible.

A behind-the-scenes look at one of the less glamorous parts of preparing for Fergus Walks... 🧊🥶
Recovery is going to be just as important as the walking itself, so I’ve been getting used to homemade ice baths, focusing on recovery, and doing everything I can to keep my body moving well ahead of 4,500km across America.
It’s not always comfortable, but neither is walking from the Brooklyn Bridge to the Santa Monica Pier! 😅
Every step of preparation counts as I get ready to take on 6 million steps for people living with spinal cord injuries.

A little behind-the-scenes look at the unsung heroes of Fergus Walks. 👟
I’ve made seven new best friends over the last few months, and they’ll be joining me for every mile of this journey across America.
From the Brooklyn Bridge to the Santa Monica Pier, these Brooks Glycerin Max 2s will help me take 6 million steps to raise awareness and vital funds for people living with spinal cord injuries.

After months of hard work, I'm incredibly proud to finally launch my new website!

36 Days To Go.

In just 36 days, I'll stand on the Brooklyn Bridge and take the first steps of a journey that will see me walk 4,500 kilometres across America, all the way to Santa Monica Pier to hejp raise awareness and vital funds for and who support those who live with a spinal cord injury.

A challenge of this magnitude isn't just about determination. It's about preparation.

Every single day I'll be walking 60km, spending around 12 hours on my feet for 75 consecutive days. That means every decision I make now matters—from training and recovery to hydration and, most importantly, nutrition.

You can't fuel a challenge like this on willpower alone.

That's why I'm absolutely delighted to have .second on board to help power this journey. Their fuel bars will play a huge role in helping me stay energised, recover, and keep moving forward—one step at a time.

When you're asking your body to do something extraordinary, giving it the right fuel isn't a luxury... it's essential.

Every step I take is to raise awareness and vital funds for Spinal Injuries Ireland and the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, proving that even after life's biggest setbacks, incredible things are still possible.

The countdown is well and truly on.

36 days.
4,500 kilometres.
One purpose.
One step at a time.
