On April 23, 2024, the cruel and unusual HB68 will take effect in Ohio, preventing trans youth from accessing gender-affirming healthcare. We are weightlifters raising money to benefit Trans Ohio's Emergency Fund and help the families of transgender kids (and transgender adults impacted by other draconian legislative rules currently in review) in need of medical care, relocation assistance, and other essential resources.

We need your help to raise $10 for every pound we deadlift!

Beck (they/them) started lifting strongman in 2019, after getting access to medical transition care and finally feeling like they could walk into a gym for the first time. Their goal: 400 lbs.

Julie (she/her) has been lifting with Beck since building a basement gym in 2023 and hopes to compete in powerlifting someday. Her goal: 200 lbs.

We plan to attempt our lifts by the end of April and take video to share with our supporters. We're also recruiting a team of lifters - we can move more weight together!

Any donation will make an impact, as will sharing this to social media. Thank you in advance for your contribution to help protect trans youth in Ohio, even if it means relocating to safety.
