HELP DARYL RAISE MONEY FOR THE SWIM WITH MIKE FOUNDATION!!!
Swim With Mike is an event/organization that funds a scholarship for physically challenged athletes. This school year, 2010-11, Daryl Holmlund of Sauni's Big Jump is a recipient of that scholarship and he recorded a special song to try to raise funds for the program so it can continue to change the lives of athletes with disabilities. To learn more about SWM, go to my swim with mike page!
The song is called "No More Wheelchairs" and you can listen to it by pressing play on the above music player or you can download it for free right here, right now! (right click on the link and then "save link" to wherever you save music):
If you like the song - or if you don't like and still want to - please consider donating a dollar or two to sponsor me as a Swim With Mike swimmer by going to MY SWIM WITH MIKE PAGE
I have committed to swim as many yards as dollars I raise unless I raise TOO too much, like $10000 - that would be a lot of yards and I haven't been swimming much for the last 6 years post spinal cord injury...
***If you don't feel comfortable making online donations, are having trouble downloading the song, or have other comments or questions, email me at darylholmlund [at] gmail [dot] com to arrange for an alternative donation method.***
Additionally, I will donate the profit from any other CD sales I make before the SWM swim-a-thon (April 16, 2011) to Swim With Mike - so if you're interested in helping out SWM and want a couple great CDs, check out our two albums below!

Sauni's Story... Sauni (pronounced "Saw-knee") was a beta-fish. Was. Now he is free. One day Elle left Sauni (who's name may or may not have been spelled S-A-N-I) at her parents' house in a little cup while her family went to climb Long's Peak. Poor little Sauni couldn't stand being couped up like that, having nowhere to go. He felt like he was trapped and all he wanted was freedom, no matter what the cost. So Sauni, like Patrick Henry, said, "Give me liberty or give me death!" and embarked on an adventure that few of us would ever risk... Sadly things didn't work out for Sauni, but now he is in a better place where he can continue to inspire us to live life outside our little fishbowls. ***Sauni's Big Jump in no way supports beta-cide or any other cides***
