Join Me in the Fight Against ALS – My Iron Phi Challenge
This year, I’m taking on a personal and meaningful challenge: to become an Iron Phi, an honor earned by only a small percentage of Phi Delta Theta members. The Iron Phi program combines athletic effort with fundraising to strengthen our fraternity’s mission and to fight ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease).
For my challenge, I’ll be walking 10,000 steps a day for 30 straight days, finishing on September 8th—my 60th birthday. It’s a milestone I want to mark by doing something that matters.
Why ALS?
Lou Gehrig, a proud member of Phi Delta Theta, brought national attention to this devastating disease. Each year, about 5,600 Americans are diagnosed with ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative disease that robs people of muscle control and, ultimately, their lives. There is no cure—yet. That’s why I’m stepping up to raise funds for research, education, screening, and treatment, while also helping strengthen Phi Delta Theta’s impact.
My Goal: $1,000
I need your help to get there. A gift of $20 or more will move us closer to a world without ALS.

I’d be honored if you joined me in this journey—by contributing, sharing this campaign, and helping bring hope to those facing ALS. Together, we can take steps toward a cure.
Thank you for your generosity and support.

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.”
