My Iron Phi Story
Doug Bricknell's Page
This year is the 75th anniversary of Lou Gehrig’s famous farewell speech announcing his retirement from major league baseball due to complications from his illness. I have a plan commemorate this anniversary, raise funds, and raise further awareness for the fight against ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). I have accepted the challenge to play 75 consecutive holes of golf in one day (July 3rd) to support ALS research. Think of it as a "golf-a-thon". This initiative comes from my fraternity, Phi Delta Theta, of which Lou Gherig was a part of. Since then, the fraternity has made it one of their primary mandates to support the fight against ALS.
I would really appreciate your support of this initiative for this very worthy cause.
Sincerely,

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.”
