Lou Who?

Ask a Little Leaguer or a high school first baseman about Lou Gehrig, and you may get a, "Lou Who?" response. It has been a long time since Lou starred for the Yankees.

We must not let his memory fade away. He is the only reason that ALS has a name and a fate that people remember.

ALSTDI has a program to keep Lou's memory alive through July 4 events. The concept is so simple that it just may work!

Please fire up the grill and ice down some cold ones (in memory of Babe) and have a 4 ALS barbeque that will keep the memory of Lou Gehrig alive. Please click the link and plan a July 4 that will be fun and will do some good, too.
