 The Live Like Lou Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to leaving ALS better than we found it. Our 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 Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig and the more than 30,000 people living with ALS throughout North America. 

The Lou was created by Sunshine CrossFit owner Deb Austin and inspired by CrossFit Games Athlete, former gym owner, and ALS advocate Rainer Hartmann, who was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease in 2022.

 Lou Gehrig's disease comes for the best of us and doesn’t differentiate between young and old, men or women. Sadly, it steals the use of your muscles. The synergy between CrossFit and Live Like Lou is clear… it’s a community of people working to make themselves and each other stronger. 

Help our members be the change they are trying to make.  Please go to this site to make that happen https://thelou.crowdchange.co/team/crossfitbreakdown
