Media alert

You should be able to catch another brief item on CKNW, AM 980, cknw.com, "about" 4:30 p.m. PDT.

Why are we here?

Tony's swim is in aid of the CKNW Orphans' Fund. And you can donate here.

Tony just cleared 25 km. He's now 36 minutes ahead of schedule. He looks great, to be honest. We signal his last 25 for each 500, and when we did that, he yelled, "Well, it's about time!" He seems to be in great spirits.

He's 59% of the distance, and has 17.2 km to go.
