My Iron Phi Story
Welcome to My Personal Iron Phi Page
This is year 4 for Iron Phi and me...once again thank you for your support over the years to battle ALS.
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. The late Lou Gehrig is a Phi Delta Theta brother from Columbia University. Phi Delta Theta plays an active role in finding a cure.
According to The ALS Association's web site, 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.
Once again, this year members of the Phi Delta Theta Alumni Club of Philadelphia will race in the Broad Street Run on May 5, 2013 for the ALS cause. Please join us in the fight against ALS and support the cause by donating to the Iron Phi fund.
You can make a donation on this page by clicking on the "Make a Gift" link below the thermometer.
I am running on behalf of you...you all that donate and on behalf of those who are personally suffering and fighting the good fight against Lou Gehrig's Disease. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Best Regards,
Michael York

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.”
