Live Like Lou staff and friends from Phi Delta Theta Fraternity's General Headquarters attended the Cincinnati Reds' Lou Gehrig Day on June 9.

We were proud to present a scholarship during a pre-game ceremony to Chloe Telgkamp, whose sister, Samantha, is living with ALS. Thank you to the Reds Hall of Fame for matching Chloe's scholarship as she enters her last semester at West Virginia University!

Chloe is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Health and Well-Being at West Virginia University. After that, she plans to enter a doctoral program to become an occupational therapist. Inspired by being her sister's summer caregiver and attending her OT appointments, Chloe said, "Once I have fully completed school, I want to specialize in assistive technology, as I have recently discovered how important this is for ALS patients and others who have limited mobility." 

Reds Pitcher Hunter Greene was honored by our friends at Phi Delta Theta as a finalist for the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award. The Gehrig Award is presented annually to a Major League Baseball player who best exemplifies the giving character of Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig, who was a member of the Fraternity’s Columbia University chapter. The award was first presented in 1955 and is permanently maintained at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York.

During the pre-game activities, we connected with awesome members of the ALS community. We're grateful to have met several of our registered Live Like Lou families before the game. Thank you to our friend Lorri Carey for championing this meetup and the Reds for bringing us together!
