Return of the Stomper is SpeedoMick’s most ambitious campaign yet.
Beginning with an expedition to Everest Base Camp, Mick will then return to the UK to take on a 1,000-mile walk from John O’Groats to Land’s End, incorporating the Three Peaks along the way.
But this campaign is about far more than endurance.
It’s about inspiring hope, opening up conversations around mental health and suicide prevention, challenging stigma, celebrating inclusion and showing that, no matter where you are in life, there’s always a way forward.
Whether you’d like to donate, sponsor the campaign, leave a Message of Hope or simply follow Mick’s progress, we’d love you to be part of it.
Communities supporting communities. People supporting people.
The SpeedoMick Foundation supports small grassroots charities and community organisations helping people through some of life’s toughest circumstances – often with limited resources and little public profile.
By turning the extraordinary support behind Mick’s challenges into funding at community level, we help vital organisations continue making a real difference where it’s needed most.
In 2025 alone, Foundation grants helped organisations supporting more than 1,000 people affected by homelessness, over 2,200 disadvantaged young people, 910 people affected by mental health issues and 63 people in rehabilitation.
And throughout Return of the Stomper, that support will continue – with Foundation grants gifted to grassroots organisations each week as Mick makes his way across the UK.
