MISSION
The Live Like Lou Foundation's mission is to create and connect communities to stimulate emerging ALS research and uniquely support families affected by Lou Gehrig’s disease. We do this in honor of MLB Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig and the 30,000 individuals in North America living with ALS.
About the lou
The Lou, named in honor of Lou Gehrig and inspired by his Yankees' jersey number, 4, is a partner workout featuring 44 rounds of 4 reps each of wallballs, pull-ups, burpees, and dumbbell snatches. Partners split the work and perservere to honor Lou's legacy and support the fight against ALS.

About Live Like Lou
All funds raised through The Lou workout supports families affected by ALS, funds early-career scientists studying ALS to find treatments or cures for Lou Gehrig’s disease, and honors Lou Gehrig’s legacy through events and creating awareness for the ALS community.

ALS Family Support
Through hands-on support by volunteers in and around the home, grants for respite and home improvement projects, and scholarship support for children in ALS families, we are meaningfully supporting families affected by Lou Gehrig's disease.

ALS Research
By supporting early-career scientists studying ALS, we aim to identify discoveries that will produce tomorrow’s trials, treatments, and cures for Lou Gehrig’s disease.

ALS Awareness
We amplify Lou Gehrig’s story, his legacy, and what it means to live like Lou in the face of a 100% fatal ALS diagnosis. We create impact moments for ALS families and the ALS community through events, strategic partnerships, and raising critical funds to power our mission.
