My Iron Phi Story
Welcome to My Personal Iron Phi Page
This year, I'll be attempting to become an Iron Phi - a distinction given to a small percentage of members within my Fraternity. 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 (ALS) 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.
This past semester, one of my brothers, Jake Machado, lost his right leg in a motorcycle accident. Next month, I will be hiking the 4 mile trail from Coogee Beach to Bondi Beach (and back) in Sydney, Australia using only crutches and my left leg to show that anything is possible given the right attitude. Since Jake's accident, he has continually shown that nothing will stand in his way, no matter the circumstance. His positive outlook on life has been an inspiration to me and all of my Florida Mu brothers.
I've set my personal goal at $1,000. So I need your help. Would you please consider making a donation of any amount? All donations are tax deductable. You can make a donation on this page by clicking on the "Make a Gift" link below the thermometer. The net proceeds will support ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) research, education, screening and treatment. It will also help strengthen an organization (Phi Delta Theta) that has had a lasting impact on my life.
I hope that you'll share this incredible adventure with me - by supporting me in my fundraising efforts.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Very Respectfully,
Maxx Miller

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.”
