The Speedo Mick Foundation has appointed a PR agency as Michael Cullen attempts a 2000mile charity walk across the UK and Ireland.
Manchester’s marco/richards will support the fundraiser on his 5-month trek, as he seeks to raise £250k for good causes.
The Everton football fan has already raised more than £650k on various charitable challenges, all while dressed only in a pair of blue Speedos.
“You can’t fail to be impressed by Speedo Mick’s dedication to raising funds for worthy causes – and his ability to brave the British weather in his undies,” said David Richards, Director of marco/richards.
Our Speedo Mick
Just watched a heartbreaking newsreel shown this morning by BBC s Breakfast on Speedo Mick and his difficulties during lockdown.
He said, just because someone is smiling, joking and saying everything is fine doesn t mean they are. He suggested he was having suicidal thoughts until his brother stepped in. His brother knew something wasn t right.
It upset me that this ordinary Evertonian, who had achieved extraordinary feats, achieved a place in the national heart and has still so much to offer, was in this awful place. My heart goes out to him.
But it s not just Mick. It s a reminder that, in these days, unprecedented in our lifetime, we need to watch out for each other even if we are saying everything is fine.
