An Everton fan who's traveled home & away in his swimming gear is setting off on his 200 mile journey to Wembley ahead of the Blues' FA Cup semi final.
Michael Cullan - aka Speedo Mick - started attending every game this season in his trunks to raise money for a local hospice in Liverpool. So far he's raised over ÂŁ30'000.
As well as that he's also walked to many grounds up and down the country to see the Blues, at 9am today he'll start his 10 day journey to the Capital from Goodison- in time to see the Blues attempt to reach the FA Cup final.
He also recently walked from London to Bournemouth before Everton's FA Cup game at Dean Court in just his swimwear.
"It's going to be interesting because I haven't done much training to be honest!"
"I had a good friend looked after at the Woodland Hospice - and thats the reason I'm raising the money. It wasn't my plan to do the whole season but after I swam the channel with them on, I went to Goodison and I celebrated because I completed the challenge. I found out people were still donating so I thought I'd see what happened.
Mick will trek 200 miles starting from Liverpool, and spend the next ten days heading south. - in that time, he'll also make time to head back to the city for the Merseyside derby - 3 days before the Blues' visit to Wembley - after that he'll continue his journey.
"It's been phenomneal, I'm blown away by it, everyone's behind it. At first there was quite a few funny looks, but now everyone's behind it."
"It's been mental, all the away fans as well. They were all fantastic, as for the Everton fans, it's like the whole stadium is supporting you"
