Marseille, January 17th 2019 – Energizer® Mobile is proud to announce a partnership with British athlete, Nick Butter, who is completing his Running The World challenge in 2019. The 29-yearold ultra-runner, motivational speaker and writer is running 196 marathons in every country in the world, breaking 8 World Records in the process while raising £250,000.00 for Prostate Cancer UK.
Nick Butter’s “Running The World 196” epic challenge is an 18-month expedition during which he is running 196 marathons in 196 countries. He’ll be breaking 8 World Records in the process, including the famous Guinness World Records for being the first person to ever accomplish this challenge. The idea was born after being inspired by a fellow runner who is suffering from prostate cancer. By completing it, Nick hopes to raise £250,000 for the charity Prostate Cancer UK.
“Nick’s sponsorship is a natural fit for Energizer® Mobile. Through his project, his career and his personality, Nick embodies endurance, performance & energy – characteristics that are common to Energizer®’ DNA” commented Lucile Devictor, Communication Manager for Energizer® Mobile. “Nick is traveling the globe for a great cause, meeting new people and spreading positive vibes. Our Energizer® phones and accessories are distributed worldwide, with the ambition to connect people from all over the planet. As he travels to all 196 countries, Nick will be stopping by some of our clients’ locations and stores” added Devictor.
