I am so excited about this news that I wanted to share it with everyone I knew.  My 1550-mile swim down the Mississippi River is going to be the subject of a documentary.  Alex Houston of Fiat Lux Productions is producing an hour-long film called: “Swim Lessons: The Nick Irons Story.”  

In 1997, I jumped into the 56-degree water of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and took the first of more than a million strokes that pushed me down the longest river in North America. After four months I climbed on shore inBaton Rouge, Louisiana.   I didn’t just make this swim for the challenge or the glory; but a personal mission to raise national awareness and funding for multiple sclerosis, the disease my dad lives with.

A short trailer for the movie is now up on YouTube.   Could I ask you a favor?  Could you please take a look at the video?  And if you like it, could you help me get the word out abut it?  You can do this by:

  • Passing it along to your friends and contacts – anyone you can think of who might enjoy watching.

  • Adding it as a favorite on YouTube.com.

  • Posting it to your blog (if you have one).

  • Adding it to your MySpace Page (if you have one).

  • Promoting it in any other way you would like.

 Thanks so much for your help, I do appreciate it.
