<div><strong>Who We Are</strong>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Marc Venturini</strong> – Originally from Bedford, NH, Marc is a Finance and Political Science double major. He’s passionate about wellness, constantly pushing himself through running, and always looking for ways to grow physically and mentally.
</li>
<li><strong>Michael Ferro</strong> – Studying Finance and Economics, Michael is from Reno, NV. He’s all about living a rejuvenating lifestyle, hitting the gym, and staying disciplined in his personal and academic life.
</li>
<li><strong>Jacob Press</strong> – A Business major with an emphasis in Marketing, Jacob hails from San Diego, CA. Having played two years of NCAA D3 water polo at Chapman, he has a passion for the ocean. He’s now an avid surfer and thrives in any challenge that pushes his limits.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We’re taking on a challenge together, not just to push ourselves but to support an incredible cause.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On March 8, 2025, we will be competing in the <a href="https://runsignup.com/Race/CA/LongBeach/Bayshore704andSprintTriathlons65" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bayshore Sprint Relay Triathlon in Long Beach</a>, CA Each of us will take on a different leg of the race:
</div>
<ul>
<li>‍Marc will run
</li>
<li>Jacob will swim
</li>
<li>Michael will bike
</li>
</ul>

</div>
<div>The Live Like Lou Foundation is dedicated to supporting research efforts to find a cure for ALS and providing assistance to families affected by the disease. This foundation is particularly meaningful to us because it was founded in honor of Lou Gehrig, a fellow Phi Delta Theta brother, who remains a symbol of resilience and strength in the face of ALS.

<div><a href="https://support.ironphi.org/site/PageServer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>What Is Iron Phi</strong></a> <strong>?</strong>
</div>
<div>Iron Phi is an initiative within Phi Delta Theta that encourages brothers to complete a physical challenge while fundraising for ALS research and patient support. Our goal is to raise $1,000 each to contribute to this important cause. By doing this, we will earn the title of "Iron Phi" while making a real impact.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div>Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer to our goal and helps those battling
</div>
<div>ALS. Your support will not only push us through this triathlon but will also contribute to groundbreaking research and much-needed aid for ALS families.
</div>
