Matt Gregory (born November 28, 1978) walked nearly 5,000 miles from Bellingham, Washington to Key West, Florida in 2006 and 2007 to raise money for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
He left Bellingham on September 1, 2006 and landed in Key West on November 8, 2007. Along the way he stayed with nearly a hundred strangers.[1]
Matt was prematurely born because his mother had leukemia. She had a bone marrow transplant several months later in 1979 and lived for 20 years after that transplant.[2]
