My Iron Phi Story
Welcome to Robert Goodno's Iron Phi Page
I have taken on an incredible challenge. On August 26th, I'll be competing in the Hotter ‘N Hell 100 cycling event in order to become an Iron Phi. I’ve been training all summer to ride 100km in 100+ degree heat.
The mission of Iron Phi is to strengthen the Phi Delta Theta International Fraternity and the impact it has on the fight against Lou Gehrig's disease through the fundraising and athletic efforts of its members. Lou Gehrig was a member of Phi Delta Theta, and our organization has taken an active role in finding a cure. I plan on raising $1872 (2x my bond number of 936) to help bring us closer to that goal.
Please consider making a donation. I’ll do the hard work of cycling 100km in 100+ degree heat, and I hope I can count of you for a donation to a great cause. Just follow the link below to visit my personal fundraising webpage and make a donation.
Without a cure, more than 5,600 people in the U.S. will continue to be diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease each year. It is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death.
Just follow the link below to visit my personal fundraising webpage and make a donation. You can also search for my page by clicking on the "Donate" tab on the front page of www.ironphi.org and searching for my name.
Thank you for taking the time to read this email. Although we are separated by distance, I hope I can count on you for your support.
YITB,

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.”
