ALS Love Letters


This year marks the 75th Anniversary of the address Lou Gehrig gave on July 4, 1939, when he announced his retirement in front of a sold-out Yankee stadium crowd. To commemorate, we created a website called ALS Love Letters that allows people to compose and share messages of love and support using words from Mr. Gehrig’s famous farewell speech. In addition to the site, a life-size version of ALS Love Letters was created for events like fundraising walks and rides. We also created a refrigerator magnet poetry kit using words from the speech as well. This one was truly a labor of love. – Sarah
