My Iron Phi Story
Welcome to My Personal Iron Phi Page
In 2010, our son Steve created the Iron Phi program for Phi Delta Theta Fraternity, a program that challenges individuals to achieve an athletic event while raising a minimum of $1,000 to fight ALS. Through him, we have watched the program grow and have witnessed Steve having great fun through his annual Iron Phi running trip. Since its beginning, Iron Phi has raised more than $3 million, and the dollars raised have made great impact in both the ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and Phi Delta Theta communities. Bill and I were houseparents at Phi Delta Theta at Iowa State from 2003-2006, so Phi Delt has a special place in our hearts to this day.
To show my support for the Iron Phi program, the ALS community, and Phi Delta Theta, I'll be attempting to become an Iron Phi myself at one of my favorite Iowa State University events - Dance Marathon. On February 11, 2023, I will be participating in my 20th Dance Marathon, an organization and event that supports the Children's Miracle Network. I plan to raise $1,000+ for Iron Phi. Further, up to an additional $1,000 will be matched by my husband, Bill, and me to support Iowa State's Dance Marathon.
Lou Gehrig was one of baseball's all-time greats. When he was diagnonsed with ALS, he spent his remaining days helping others. Along the way, he called himself the "Luckiest man on the face of the earth," and his legacy continues to inspire others to help find treatments and a cure for this always terminal illness. Great progress has been made on the disease, but there is still much work to be done.
Would you please consider making a donation? You can make a donation on this page by clicking on the "Make a Donation" link below my fundraising progress circle. You can also send a check made out to Iron Phi to me at 4019 Stone Brooke Rd., Ames, IA 50010 if you'd rather donate that way.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Sincerely,

How Does My Donation Make a Difference?
Your donation towards an Iron Phi athlete equally supports two very important things: Supporting ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) through research and support of ALS families and leadership development for undergraduate members of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity.
At the end of each year calendar year, the LiveLikeLou Foundation grants dollars raised through Iron Phi to fund its initiatives that support ALS research, scholarships to support the higher education goals of ALS dependents, and summer camp experiences for children who have a parent or grandparent with ALS.
Dollars used for undergraduate leadership development have and continue to help Phi Delta Theta educate more of its undergraduate members as they work to “Become the Greatest Version of Themselves.”
