'Speedo Mick' set to enter South Yorkshire as his charity trek across the UK continues
The inspirational fundraiser is due to arrive at Sheffield Wednesday FC's Hillsborough Stadium later
Iconic charity fundraiser Michael Cullen will be arriving at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough Stadium later today-in just his speedos-as he continues his trek across the UK.
The 56-year-old is attempting to walk 2,500 miles before Christmas-with every penny he raises being used to help people from disadvantaged communities and causes which support mental health.
'Speedo Mick'-who's from Liverpool-has around 400 miles left.
He admits the challenge has got tougher as the weather's got colder:
"What keeps my spirits up is all the encouragement I get from the public.
"Those people who go past in their cars and beep me when it's freezing cold-and raining- make all the difference.
"I get drinks brought out to me, some people walk along with me for a little while, and without those people, I might not have made it this far.
"I'm absolutely exhausted at the moment, and every single day is just a massive struggle for me.
"I honestly can't say where I'm finding the energy from to keep going, but I am finding it somehow.
"If anybody does want to get involved, what you can do is just come and say hello, give us a wave or give us a smile. Never underestimate the power of a smile!"
Mick's currently just £3,000 away from his target of £100,000.

He's due to finish the challenge back in Liverpool next month.
