In September of 2021, Laurie Petrucce Roselle, of Fishers, Indiana, was diagnosed with ALS. After years of giving tirelessly of herself to benefit others, those who know her are going All in for Laurie to fund research for Lou Gehrig's disease through the Live Like Lou Foundation. "Shortly after Laurie's diagnosis, we connected with the Live Like Lou Foundation," shared John. "Its vision that a cure for ALS can come from new and emerging research resonated with us."

This fund was established in late 2022 and began awarding an annual $5,000 undergraduate research grant to a student at the University of Notre Dame in the summer of 2023 to study neurodegenerative diseases.

Laurie is a graduate of Purdue University where she was a member of Delta Gamma. She spent her career in the legal community while serving her beloved Delta Gamma as a dedicated volunteer. From serving collegiate chapters as a regional resource to serving on the international council for eight years, Laurie has been honored with a number of awards for her lifetime of commitment. She was elected and served as Delta Gamma’s international president from 2012-2014.

Laurie’s husband John is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and an active member of the Notre Dame Club of Indianapolis, including eight years of service as a member of its board.

If you are in Central Indiana, don't miss the second annual All in for Laurie Trivia Night on Friday, November 10, at Woodland Country Club in Carmel, Indiana!

All donations to the Roselle Fund will benefit Live Like Lou's endowment to fund undergraduate research for ALS and/or neurodegenerative diseases.

About the Live Like Lou Foundation
The Live Like Lou Foundation was established in 2017 as a national nonprofit with a vision to leave ALS better than we found it. Named in honor of MLB Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig, Live Like Lou supports ALS families, funds emerging researchers seeking meaningful treatments and cures for ALS, and helps generate awareness of Lou Gehrig’s disease. In the face of his ALS diagnosis, Lou Gehrig continued to live his life with courage, determination, and gratitude... this is what we mean when we say, Live Like Lou.

In Lou’s memory, volunteers have served more than 470 ALS families through Live Like Lou. Additionally, nearly $1 million in grants to emerging ALS researchers have been made since our inception, and $300,000 in scholarships have been awarded to children in ALS families to pursue higher education.
