Welcome to My Personal Iron Phi Page

Welcome to my Iron Phi page!

Iron Phi is a distinction given to a small percentage of collegiate and alumni members of my Fraternity, Phi Delta Theta.  The qualifications to become an Iron Phi are twofold: fundraising and completing an athletic event.

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.

The money you help me raise 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 will be competing in the Flying Pig Half-Marathon in Cincinnati, OH on May 2, 2010.  While I ran cross country and track in high school, I have never run a half-marathon before.  I am excited to take on the challenge!

ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that can strike anyone - male or female, young or old, active or inactive.  ALS affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord, and the degeneration of motor neurons eventually leads to death.  Every 90 minutes, another person is diagnosed with ALS.

While there is no known cure, great strides have been made in treating and understanding the disease.  By joining me in my quest to become an Iron Phi, you can provide hope for the thousands of people who suffer from ALS and contribute to the ultimate goal of anyone who has seen the terrible impact of this disease - a cure.

I've set my personal goal at $2,500 so I need your help. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help me in the fight against ALS.

You can make a donation on this page by clicking on the "Make a Gift" link below the thermometer. Or you can make a check payable to Iron Phi and send it to:

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!
