My Iron Phi Story
Welcome to Billy's Iron Phi Page
This year I am working to become an Iron Phi - a distinction reserved for members of my Fraternity that complete an athletic event and raise at least $1,000 for charity.
The mission of the Iron Phi program is to strengthen the fraternity and the impact it has on the fight against Lou Gehrig's disease, also known as ALS. Lou Gehrig was a member of Phi Delta Theta and our organization has taken an active role in finding a cure for this progressive neurodegenerative disease.
Proceeds will support ALS research, education, screening and treatment, and will strengthen an organization that has had a lasting impact on my life.
On November 22nd, I am running the Half Marathon in the Big Easy Run Fest in New Orleans. To make this even more challenging, this race is on the weekend of my 54th birthday party.
I've set my personal fundraising goal at $1,000.
I need your help to get there. Would you please consider making a small, tax-deductible donation? You can do that by clicking on the "Make a Gift" link below the thermometer.
I hope that you'll share this adventure with me. I promise to put in the work and share pics of me dying at the finish line.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Sincerely,
Billy Poston #120

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.”
