DAN DARES: Freezing swim for reporter in next challenge


AFTER failing his 'no-sleep' challenge last month, our very own daredevil reporter will next be taking to the freezing sea.

Brave hack Dan Keel will tackle the choppy and chilly waters of the English Channel when he joins a health worker on a sponsored swim.

Head of Communications at Oxleas NHS Trust, Russell Cartwright, is raising money for charity Magpie Dance by taking to the sea in 12 different locations around the country throughout the year.

Dan will be joining him on the Brighton leg of his challenge where the pair will dive into the channel and take to the freezing waters for a morning swim.

Magpie Dance runs dance classes for disabled youngsters and adults in south-east London.
