My Iron Phi Story
Welcome to My Personal Iron Phi Page
This year, I am honored to be running for Phi Delta Theta’s Miss Athena! As Phi Delta Theta’s premier philanthropy event, Miss Athena is a week-long fundraiser that culminates in a pageant and talent show. All proceeds benefit the Live Like Lou Foundation, which provides critical support to individuals and families affected by ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease).
ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that gradually robs individuals of their ability to move, speak, eat, and eventually breathe, all while their cognitive abilities often remain intact. It is a devastating diagnosis, not only for those who have it but also for their loved ones, who must navigate the emotional, physical, and financial challenges of caregiving. The Live Like Lou Foundation works to ease these burdens by funding research, providing resources, and supporting affected families. This cause is incredibly important to me, and I am committed to raising both awareness and funds to make a difference in the lives of those impacted.
Every donation, no matter the size, helps bring hope to those fighting this disease. Your generosity, will make a difference in the lives of those fighting ALS. Thank you for your support—I truly appreciate every donation and every effort to bring more attention to this cause!

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.”
