Mick Foley, AKA “Cactus Jack” or “Mankind,” is one of the toughest guys around.
Outside of fighting in the ring, Mick fights against rape and sexual violence. And while that may seem like a strange combination of passions, it’s what makes him such a unique asset to the movement.
Said Mick:
“I remember being in seventh grade when I learned the definition of paradox. It doesn├óΓé¼Γäót seem like a pro-wrestler would be able to lend much when it comes to a campaign against sexual violence, but for some reason I kept telling myself that it made perfect sense.”
Mick has raised over $140,000 (and counting) for the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN) since April by auctioning off various personal items. He even offered to mow the yards of people who donated over $5,000.
In his first year, Mick clocked over 500 hours of counseling and spoke to over 700 victims of sexual assault.
This man is a hero. For real. He is EXACTLY the type of person we need in this movement!
