My Iron Phi Story
Welcome to My Personal Iron Phi Page
This year, I'll be attempting to become an Iron Phi - a distinction given to a small percentage of members within my Fraternity.
On July 12, 2015 I participated in the Silver Rush 50 Run in Leadville, CO and completed 40 miles of the run. It was an awesome experience as it was 5 years ago when I did the same event and completed 50 miles then, but this year blisters pulled me off the course.
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.
Becoming an Iron Phi not only gives me bragging rights but it is something bold I can do about Lou Gerigs's disease. Lou Gehrig was a member of Phi Delta Theta, and our organization has taken an active role in finding a cure.
I've set my personal goal at $1000 So I need your help. Would you please consider making a donation of what you feel inspired to give. You can make a donation on this page by clicking on the "Make a Gift" link below the thermometer. You can also send a check made out to Iron Phi to me at 639 S. 4th Street. Mankato, MN 56001 if you'd rather donate that way.
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!
Sincerely,
Dennis Durst

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.”
