My Iron Phi Story
Welcome to My Personal Iron Phi Page
Dear Friends and Brothers,
This year, I'll be attempting to become an Iron Phi - a distinction given to a small percentage of members within our 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 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 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 am competing along with my family in five athletic events this year. including the Wisconsin Half Marathon, the UPAF 40 mile bike ride, and the USA Sprint Triathlon National Championship, and the Door County Century Ride and my first ever marathon - the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon.
I hope that you'll share this incredible adventure with me - by supporting me in my fundraising efforts.
Thank you,
Mark

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.”
