Seattle Mariners Lou Gehrig Day 💙⚾️

Lifelong Mariners fan and ALS advocate Ryan Riddick was diagnosed with ALS in 2013. After returning to Spokane in 2018 to be closer to family, Ryan adapted to full-time care with remarkable courage. In 2021, accessible housing and assistive technology provided through Matt's Place Foundation, Inc. transformed his quality of life.

As a finalist for the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award, and in partnership with Phi Delta Theta and the Permobil Foundation, J.P. Crawford helped us surprise Ryan with a custom Mariners-themed Permobil wheelchair.

A special thank you to our sponsor, Shionogi.

Cincinnati Reds Lou Gehrig Day 💙⚾️

Northern Kentucky University student McKenzie Kemper has faced an extraordinary journey. After the unexpected loss of her mother, Tootie, McKenzie became the primary caregiver for her father, Bo, following his ALS diagnosis in 2024. Through it all, she has continued pursuing her education while advocating for families affected by ALS.

As a nominee for Phi Delta Theta's Lou Gehrig Memorial Award, and through the support of the Live Like Lou Foundation, TJ Friedl was given the opportunity to recognize McKenzie’s resilience and dedication with a $2,250 Live Like Lou Foundation Onward Award to support her educational pursuits.

Although McKenzie and Bo were unable to attend, their story inspired everyone involved and reminds us why we work every day to leave ALS better than we found it.

A special thank you to our sponsor, Shionogi.

Live Like Lou had the honor of joining Phi Delta Theta for a visit to the Baseball Hall of Fame, where the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award is permanently displayed. ⚾️

It was powerful to see Lou Gehrig’s legacy represented so proudly and to see Sarah Nauser, who is living with ALS, featured on the updated display. This visit reminded us that Lou was not only one of the greatest baseball players of all time, but also a truly remarkable human being whose legacy continues to inspire. 💙
