East Coast Radio personalities set to make a splash at Midmar Mile.
Two East Coast Radio DJ’s and a number of other station personalities, nine staff members in total, will be taking up the challenge of the weekend’s Midmar Mile. Breakfast Stack presenter Darren Maule and popular weekday evening DJ Abi Ray will both be swimming Midmar on Saturday, 11 February.
Darren, who is also MC for the massive swim, has bravely decided that it is only fair for him to also take part and join the thousands of swimmers. Abi Ray has competed in the event several times before and is sure that this will be one of her best swim yet. Abi says, “I decided to swim because the last time I was training for Midmar, in 2008, I fell and broke my back. So I wanted to do it again and this time I have been training with Durban coach Jean Nortje.”
Another on-air personality that will be taking to the water is Drive Time newsreader Judith Subban. She says, “Abi approached me saying it’d be a really Funsunzi thing to do, and it’s just snowballed from there, with lots of people showing interest.”
East Coast Radio has two teams entered into Saturday’s company relay race. Even the station’s CEO Trish Taylor will be swimming. Other staff members who will be making up the station’s teams are Michael Zuma, Erin Crous, Shaun Ryan, Hannah Keal and Chantal Hoswe. We wish them all the best!
