Lou Gehrig Memorial Fund
In Memory of Lou Gehrig
For those who would like to make a general donation.
Lou Gehrig's legacy includes an overwhelming number of baseball records...and the common name for a disease that he had the misfortune of contracting.
Known as "The Iron Horse" because he played in 2,130 consecutive games - Lou Gehrig's career started June 1, 1925 and lasted for every game the Yankees played for 15 seasons. On May 2, 1929, in Detroit, he took himself out of the game. He stayed on as the team captain even after his diagnosis at the Mayo clinic and later served on the NYC Parole Commission. He died in June, 1941 at the age of 37.
Since then many people have continued to fight the battle with ALS and, unfortunately, since there is still no known cause or cure, lose. Your help allows us to assist them with their battle. Lou will be with us in spirit!
