关于我们
National nonprofit organization committed to raising awareness of ALS, supporting ALS warriors and their families, and raising funds for emerging ALS science focused on finding treatments or a cure. We do this work in honor of our namesake, Major League Baseball Hall of Famer, and Luckiest Man, Lou Gehrig, and the more than 16,000 people living with this 100% fatal disease each day across North America. Our programs include grants targeted to emerging ALS research programs and researchers, Iron Horse Scholarships for dependents of ALS warriors, one-time or short-term projects in/around the home, grants in support of children in ALS families, and so much more. We are proud partners with Lou Gehrig's fraternity, Phi Delta Theta. For more than half a century, Phi Delts from across the globe have been dedicated to ALS as its philanthropic charity. Their partnership allows us to serve more than 200 ALS families each year through hands-on volunteer work and support of children in ALS families attending Hope Loves Company camps. Our mission is to create and connect communities to stimulate emerging research and uniquely support families affected by Lou Gehrig’s disease. In doing so, we know we'll leave ALS better than we found it.

Recent research from the UK Dementia Research Institute at University College London features Live Like Lou-funded Postdoctoral Fellow Alex Cammack, PhD. This study showed an increase in fatty acids in the brain is associated with a reduced risk of developing MND/ALS. This could open avenues for preventive strategies and future treatments. The Live Like Lou Foundation is honored to have funded Dr. Cammack’s work as one of our 2023 Postdoctoral Fellows.?Read more about this important study: https://lnkd.in/gQnyHNhN

Happy International Women’s Day! ???? ? We look up to women like Eleanor Twitchell, Lou Gehrig’s dream come true of a wife. After Lou’s passing, Eleanor dedicated her life to being a face for the disadvantaged and the fight against ALS. She is proof to all women to never give up in the face of adversity. Eleanor never gave up—in Lou’s memory, and neither will we.

Smelling the roses has never meant more. ?? In 2021, Sharon was diagnosed with ALS. One of her greatest joys is spending time in her backyard, but for too long, it wasn’t accessible to her—until now. Thanks to our home improvement grant and the incredible volunteers from Phi Delta Theta at UC San Diego, Sharon can once again enjoy her garden and the sunshine. ?? "I am able to get outside and smell the roses again. You have helped make my backyard accessible to me again! I love going outside to check on my plants and get sunshine," Sharon shared. Small changes can make a world of difference.???
