CHANNEL SWIMMER: Kevin Magnay

Massive DCT congratulations to Kevin Magnay (aka number 12) for your successful English Channel Solo

Kevin coined the nickname Number 12 when he took the number 12 band home with him in error one day. He tried to buy his way out of the Mandi minutes by bringing a bag load of cake to the beach the next day, but it didn’t help, he’s been assigned 12 extra minutes pretty much every session since that fated session!!

I sponsored Kevin and said I would double it if there was a 12 in his result. Alas there was not. However, I’m prepared to give it another go, if there are 12 likes to this news story within 12 minutes of publishing, he charity will benefit.

If you would like to support his chosen charity Aspire, you can do that here. Wouldn’t it be good to get 12 more donations?

I love it when we have a window on a swim through the wonders of social media. The photos from this swim are awesome. Here are a few.
