A Marine walking the country to raise money for veterans causes made a stop Friday in the Triangle.
Mac McQuown is planning to stop in every state capital in the United States along a five-year, 15,000-mile journey. Raleigh was his fourth capital, and he'll take about a month to walk across North Carolina.
McQuown started his journey Sept. 11 in Virginia.
