My Iron Phi Story
Jackson Jarrett IronPhi
For the second year in a row, I'll be attempting to become an Iron Phi - a distinction given to a small percentage of members within my 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.
Last year, I completed my first half marathon on my way to becoming an Iron Phi for the first time. This year, I will be participating in the Madison Marathon on November 10th, 2024. During this time, I hope to challenge myself both physically and mentally while supporting a great cause.
I've set my personal goal at $3,000. I look forward to challenging myself physically, while fighting for this great cause. My goal is to raise $3,500, while running a sub 4 hour marathon. 3 hours and $3,000! You can make a donation on this page by clicking on the "Make a Gift" link below the thermometer.
I hope that you'll join me on this journey by supporting me in my fundraising efforts. Anything helps!
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Sincerely,
Jackson Jarrett

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.”
