A Worcester man is walking 155 miles from Cape Cod to Ogunquit, Maine.

Tim Duffy is making the trek to raise funds to fight pancreatic cancer. His wife Kate died from pancreatic cancer last year.

Duffy started his walk in Yarmouth on August 21. He's expecting to finish on Sunday, September 3.

He spoke with CAI earlier this week as he was in the North Shore, about halfway through his journey.
