Intrepid Evertonian fundraiser ‘Speedo Mick’ has completed his 100-mile five day walk from London to Bournemouth the night before the Blues FA Cup fifth round tie against the Cherries.
The super-fit 50-year-old from Dovecot – real name Michael Cullen – has been collecting charity donations all season for Woodlands Hospice Charitable Trust in Liverpool by attending Everton matches in swimming trunks, cap and goggles.
His latest venture was in aid of Julia’s House, the Dorset and Wiltshire Children’s Hospices, and he Tweeted to confirm his arrival at Bournemouth at 6:31pm on Friday evening.

Everton’s last visit to Bournemouth in November for a Premier League game inspired a home supporter to don a pair of red trunks and join in tribute to Mick to help his good causes.
Mick is aiming to raise £20,000 of charity donations on his Just Giving page and at the time of writing he was on 97% towards his target with £19,428 pledged.
