My Iron Phi Story
Welcome to My Personal Iron Phi Page
From now until March 15th, I'll be working with my brothers in Phi Delta Theta to compete in the Iron Phi Spring Phikeia Challenge. We are competing against other Phi Delt chapters in the area to see who can raise the most money for our philanthropy, the Live Like Lou Foundation. The net proceeds will support ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) research, education, screening and treatment.
Approximately 5,600 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS 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.
I've set my personal goal at $500. Any donations would be appreciated and go a long way towards stopping this horrible disease. You can make a donation on this page by clicking on the "Make a Gift" link below the thermometer.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Sincerely,
Tyler Wiseman

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.”
