My Iron Phi Story
Welcome to My Personal Iron Phi Page
This year, I'll be attempting to become an Iron Phi. The goal of Iron Phi program is to strengthen the Phi Delta Theta International Fraternity and the impact it has on the fight against Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS). This is accomplished through the fundraising and athletic efforts of its members. Lou Gehrig, who suffered from ALS, 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 research, education, screening and treatment. Additionally, it will strengthen Phi Delta Theta, an organization that has had a lasting impact on my life.
I’ve set my personal fundraising goal at $1000 and would greatly appreciate your support and assistance in reaching my goal. I will be cycling 138km from our Ontario Alpha Chapter House to Niagra Falls. The ride will take approximately 7-8 hours!
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,
Nicholas Merrithew

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.”
